drank Organic Morning's Journey [discontinued] by Hugo Tea Company
1040 tasting notes

This is one that I took from the SSTTB. Thanks everyone!!!

Drinking it at work today, and I was surprised at how grapey this was – is that the muscatel thing people talk about? Anyway, whatever it is, this is sweet and fruity, but it’s deep and rich enough to be satisfying in the morning.
I’m more of a purest, I’m not huge into the black tea blends, but this a good one. I could drink this again.

I like Hugo, but I haven’t tried this. I just finished a tin of Full-Steam, so maybe an order….

So what’s the RIGHT black tea blend? I would say that A&D Double Knit is my favorite.

I LOVE this tea. I had a sample of it and was very fortunate to get a tin from Hugo as they no longer stock it. :P I think they replaced it with Hill Station (another good blend, but quite different!)

OMG & Hill Station were discontinued. Full-Steam is now their only unflavored black tea. http://www.hugotea.com/pages/shop

Full-Steam: 1.76 ounces for $9.89 = $5.62/oz. × 16 = $89.92/lb.

I love full steam. Never had a morning journey. I remember that Terri has them both. I think she likes Full Steam more.

You’re right, Terri enjoyed Full Steam much more than OMJ.

C.S. Lewis – “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

I needed to update my profile. I joined Steepster 03Mar13. I am just amazed at how much my tastes have changed since then.
When I discovered loose leaf tea about a year and half ago, I didn’t know anything other than my local Davids and Teavana/Teaopia. Stumbling onto Steepster CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Hello, my name is Dex I’m a tea addict.
I’ve been through the “I need to try every single tea out there” phase. I really hope the worst of that has passed. I’ve learned enough to know that I only need to try HALF of all the teas out there. LOL
When I started this journey, I was all about the flavored rooibos and fruity tisanes. Don’t get me wrong there is still room for dessert (chocolate/caramel/nutty) Rooibos teas in my cupboard and I still do enjoy them, BUT I am quickly learning to appreciate the some of the straight teas of the world.
Big bold (but not icky)pu’erh is suddenly my favorite, followed by woody/roasted oolongs. I’m just starting to explore straight black teas, and have found some that I really like.
Generally speaking I’m not into greens at all, only like the occasional green oolong, and white teas are just too mild for my tastes (unless they are fruit flavored). I still enjoy really good fruit tisanes, but am now cold steeping them.
I don’t like floral/herbal blends, and mint anything is not on my preferred list.
I am still exploring new teas, adapting to my changing tastes, understanding more every day how little I really know about tea. Ultimately I would love to find approximately 50 teas that I just “can’t live without” and always have them in my cupboard. That might not be practical, but that what I’m searching for. It’s going to be a fun journey.

All in all, I love this site. I’ve met some wonderful people, and have gotten to try some amazing teas because of them. It really restores your faith in humanity when you get a note saying “oh by the way I sent you some tea”. Wonderful, generous, people here.
