Thanks! A little bit of Kava tea went a long way for me. :)

It’s always nice to be reminded of that every now and then.

Yes that reminder helps me realize that loose tea is the way for me.

That’s a good thing! It’s not a very good taste.

LOL! The monkey. :D I’ve been pretty confused lately with all the monkey picked teas I’ve seen around on Steepster. If the word ‘monkey’ is in the name, it’s always a little bit surprising to me that it’s not a banana-flavoured tea. :p (Or was that speciesist of me?)

Quite an enjoyable first impression. Definitely getting floral overtones coming through in a natural, non-perfumey kind of way.

drank Jasmine Oolong by Teavana

This being my first oolong I am enjoying it. I think however I would like it better without the Jasmine aspect. I’m not sure. I think I need to sample other oolongs to really understand the profile of this tea.

Preparation

Glad you liked this more than I did. I was not a fan.

drank Ryokucha by Samovar

Just finished the last bit in the tin… I am going to miss you Ryokucha but there are so many different teas to try. Make no mistake I will be back. Maybe I will be lucky enough to meet you again in one of the Lounges. I have a feeling it will add to the experience. (Need to get to the west coast first though.)

Enjoying the nutty, toasty blend that is Samovar’s Ryokucha this Thanksgiving morning. What’s in your Turkeyday cup?
