30 tasting notes

pencil shaving rose first comes to mind. you know that woody kind of taste of the end of a pencil crayon? seems to permeate the entire flavour. this is my first taste of this tea. maybe i’ll like it better as it cools.//
a few minutes later … still strongly tastes like pencil crayon shavings. the sweet is coming out a tad more. the base tea is a tad bitter. i steeped for 4 mins; perhaps i should have steeped for only 3. the package recommended 4-5.

Flavors: Bitter, Sweet, Wood

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 4 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I’ve never heard that descriptor used before, but I can 100% imagine exactly the smell/taste!! I love it!

Kiki tea

heh. i have a very weird way of describing things. i once said a wine tasted like bubble gum to a group of wine enthusiasts. they weren’t impressed.

Bio

I’m a writer who drinks a lot of black tea. My favs are robust black teas, especially Lapsang Souchong and Irish Breakfast. In 2019/2020 I have a monthly black tea subscription from TeaRunners.com, so i’ll be sharing a lot of their teas. I’m always interested in meeting other tea enthusiasts, especially those who love black teas. At home, I prefer loose leafed teas but i will drink bagged, if desperate and out in the wilds.
