Day 8 of 24 Days of Tea

I’ve been wanting to try this one out. I know a few friends who have this tea.

At first sniff: Smells like mango and tropical. I wouldn’t say it hits the nail on the head but it’s close. The blend is very pretty too with the leaves that are different colours.

At first steep: This tea tastes nice. It’s light, airy, crisp… annnnd then you taste the artificial after taste. Am I the only one that is sensitive enough to pick up on this????

I resteeped this tea and it was good again, nice lovely colour and taste. I haven’t had a lot of white teas, but I do like them, just don’t gravitate towards them. I enjoyed the sample and have some left to brew for another day, but I don’t think this is going to make it in the cupboard.

My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.

It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.
