I brought tea with me to my aunts house and they have no tea equipment at ALL. But with much exploration through their cupboard, at the very top in the very back, THEY HAVE A TEAPOT!! And it had a pretty big strainer, big enough for the leaves to expand! And I found a really wide mouthed mug, big enough for the strainer to fit in so…

I’m definitely trying out all the oolongs that I have. This one is very different compared to the ones I’ve had before. The ones had a very ashy taste, but this one is more mellow! That one oolong that I had not too long ago from my Steepster Select package was very smoky and nutty and roasted and it was just a bit too much. I feel like this is the complete opposite! It’s mellow and still has that smoky hit in the end, which is quite nice, though I’d like the flavour to punch me a bit more hehe.

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
