2967 Tasting Notes
This has been languishing in my cupboard for ages. A friend sent it to me last year in a care package, mostly, I suspect, for the tin, which has a cute little image of London on it. This sort of tea is not what I usually reach for.
Still, it seems like an excelent day to drink the teas I do not really care about, and so I brewed some up.
Well, its black tea. Its not bitter, which can be a worry, but its not very impressive. I almost never add milk or sugar to my teas, but I might give this one a try with additives in the near future.
My sinuses are still unhappy, making every breath feel dusty, and making it painful to swallow. Tea helps this a lot.
Today I needed a good tea, but perhaps not a great tea. Something I enjoyed, with a good amount of flavor. Bingo. Rose Petal black for the first cup of the morning.
Backlogg from yesterday. Still feeling poorly, I reached for my very favorite chamomile, which I am hording and parcing out bit by bit. It went perfectly with my evening read of a silly murder mystery, and then I went to bed.
This is such a nice tea. Complex and light and everything an herbal should be.
Its going to be 100 degrees today. Buy my sinuses are still unhappy, and so an unseasonable tea is called for!
Why precicely I thought cinnamon would be good for gunky sinuses, I do not know, but I do like this. Its warm and fun. Not precicely the mood people usually goes for during 100 degree weather, but hey.
Give me tea or give me heatstroke!
Gross, 100 degrees! I don’t know how you can live like that. 80 is bad enough.
Its no fun, let me tell you. Pretty common around here.
I like this one (maybe not in triple digit heat; we had that today, too). It’s very similar to one of my winter favorites, Eggnogg’n by Bigelow.
As I say, I dont know what posessed me to attempt this in triple digits. I am a fool for tea!
I woke up this morning to find that my sinuses had been draining down my throat all night, leaving me with a sore throat. Not good, as I need to teach a class this morning. Time to get a trusty pot of tea!
Loke Lani was a gift, and I love it. This tea is light and fruity and sparkles across the palate. And its doing wonders this morning.
Up and at em!
Free sample. Its an interesting mixture, the chai with the rooibos, curiously sharp. I am getting the cinnamon and cardamon that are inherant to the whole chai experience, and the rooibos lends a curious… I dont know, redness? to the whole situation.
Wouldnt buy it, but it was nice to try.
I am breaking a general guideline and drinking a caffinated tea after dinner time. If I suffer afterwards, so be it.
I’m trying to be brave and actually steep my Davids teas for the longer terms. Its yeilding interesting results. The longer steep on this really brings out the strawberry notes. It makes for an interesting blend.
