Yet another in my dwindling supply of ancient SpecialTeas samplers. This tea smelled malty and a little tart while brewing – almost reminiscent of vinegar, but not in a strong or unappetizing way. The taste is light and soft, however not weak at all. It’s got ever so slight a hint of citrus in the aftertaste. Really liking this tea. I might get some from elsewhere so I can try a sample that isn’t many years old and see how it compares. I’ll be sad to see this one go. SpecialTeas had pretty nice sample sizes, so I should be able to get another 3 small pots out of the bag.

Flavors: Citrus, Malt, Tea

Preparation
Boiling 2 min, 45 sec 3 tsp 16 OZ / 473 ML

I live in Toronto, Canada, land of the fiercely intense, but short, summer, and absurdly long, equally fierce, cold autumn/winter/spring. Tea, coffee, soup, stew, chilli, mulled wine, and hot cider are staples here for a good part of the year.

Currently, I’m really digging plain black tea, chocolate and caramel accented black teas, and chais. I’m not into super grassy teas, but I like a good, smoky jasmine green. I’m told I should try some lapsang and pu’erh, which I intend to do, but I’m hella lazy. One of these days!

I live with one (very loud) Siamese cat, one (floppy-eared and goofy) Doberman Pinscher, and one (somewhat introverted and stoic) man who indulges me shamelessly. I’m pretty lucky. :)

Edit: What changes life brings! I’ve been caffeine-free for about 7 years now (not by choice!), so I’m mainly drinking decaf Earl Grey and assorted herbal infusions. Alas! Age stole my beloved Siamese, and heart disease took my Dobie. We now share our home with a lively supermutt and an oasis of a vegetable garden.
