Advent tea
There is a nice balance here between slightly sweet popcorn and savory green grass. Slightly astringent at the end and a little more grassy as it cools. Second steep smoother than the first. Not a bad genmaicha, but not something I need in my cupboard
Flavors: Astringent, Grass, Popcorn, Savory
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.
I am an avid traveler, hiker, soccer player/watcher.
I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!

I am surprised to see you thinking P&T somehow mediocre only.
I am surprised myself, but I haven’t been entirely impressed with their advent. Could be the fact they took 4 weeks to ship in the back of my mind.
