drank Shenandoah by Simpson & Vail
235 tasting notes

This is the last from the National Park sampler. I managed to be the first one up on this hot Saturday morning and thought I’d take some time out on the deck with a mug of tea. My alone time was very brief but it was still quite pleasant spending the early morning hours with my daughter watching birds.
I’ve not been to Shenandoah or read much about the park so I don’t know if it accurately reflects the area. I read other reviews that noted a blue hue to the tea but I don’t see it. After my steeps, the color is a rather hazy green. Perhaps my batch doesn’t have enough butterfly tea flower in it. The tea itself was a nice blend. It is a smooth green tea with a touch of ginger and lemon to it.

Flavors: Ginger, Green, Lemon

Bio

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
