Sipdown! Thank you Carol Who for this sample!
This was a nice morning tea. Not a strong smack you in the face black, but a lighter one. I had two cups of it in a row. I get a bit of citrus, but not necessarily lemon. Just a brightness that I can’t place. Hmm, well I burped a little and that did taste like lemon. So I don’t know. It’s nice though.
I paired this with some Count Chocula that I needed to “eatdown” since it had been there a while.
Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.
Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.
If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.

Kentucky, drowning in tea.
ok, how embarrassing is this….I was more excited that you had Count Chocula than I was about your tea review.
It’s the kid in us, I grew up on it, so I get really excited when it comes out every year!
