Second tea from Devon handmade advent calendar. Thank you!

Well, my tummy is upset today, my back hurts… it seems I maybe caught something on the vacation. Hopefully it’s not Covid. But there was some fever in the train including gastric flu. Maybe that’s it… or I just jumped too hard back into work or it is something completely different.

As pu-erhs can be good for digestion, or at least it is sometimes claimed, I was happy to see it. I was ready for really robust, strong and full-flavoured tea.

However, it was somehow weak? I have steeped it for recommended 5 minutes but it was quite flat and not much chocolaty at all?

It was rooibos-y with hints of cinnamon for me. But alas, my senses are not up to par, so I won’t rate this one.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 5 min, 0 sec 10 OZ / 300 ML

Hope you’re feeling better! I also picked up something when I was away, a headcold. I seem to come back with something every time I visit London!

It seems it is much better now. Still not perfect, but that’s not a surprise as I work instead staying at home in bed studying.

Staying home in bed studying is what I’m supposed to be doing, but I keep getting distracted by Steepster and Netflix! It’s hard to concentrate when you’re not feeling your best. Glad you’re mostly better now though!

Very same here! Where are my notes? First week of February isn’t that far away!

Nattie

Mine is due in 10 days! I’m sure you’ll do great. (:

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

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 :)
