1842 tasting notes

Guess who reached SIPDOWN 40 and made all 4 teas as sipdowns today?

Thank you derk for Czech national tree cuppa today. I repeat myself as last note… why people dislike this? For me, it’s perfect repose for evening. I think I can count with my fingers only number of linden teas I had. So, not biased at all.

Yummy, a bit nectar-honey-like, herbal (of course); a bit drying today maybe? Well, I wasn’t taking care about tea sachet in, it could be in for 5… maybe more minutes. But overall, I again repeat: “I DO LIKE it”!

PS: Maybe it needs other than microwave warmed up water? I do all the tea with stovetop kettle… I never understood the idea of heating up water in microwave. That water tastes different and WRONG.

Flavors: Drying, Herbs, Honey, Nectar

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 10 OZ / 300 ML

Woot! Good job on all the sipdowns!

Mastress Alita

In my very infant tea-drinking days, I just stuck a teabag in a mug of microwaved water and was fine with that. Now I think back on that and shudder; at some point, microwaved water instead of kettle-boiled water started tasting “different and wrong” to me too!

Microwaved tea water or that’instant hot’ stuff that some office coolers have is just WRONG. : p

Thank you Courtney! At least something positive on staying at home all the time.

I have tried it once Mastress Alita, when our kettle was broken or maybe there was vinegar in (to dissolve the scale in). I don’t remember. It was awful water with even worse tea in. I don’t know what it was back then, but rather nothing than this!

White Antlers: That instant hot stuff is sometimes my guilty pleasure. With loads of sugar. Mostly drank because of needed sugar.

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
