2967 Tasting Notes
I’m enjoying this! Its a mild and gentle Earl, which I prefer to a heavier Earl. I like bergamot, but I don’t like being hit over the head by bergamot, you know?
Sorry my notes have been so light and infrequent! I am in the middle of both the busy season at work, and a week and a half from the opening of the play I’m in.
Whew! Tea is certainly being drunk, but not logged as reliably.
My sister went to a tea garden/plantation last year, and brought me a tin of Earl Grey back for Christmas.
Its a very mild Earl, light on the bergamot, which is how I like my Earls.
How neat to find an American grown tea. I’ll have to visit one day!
Oooof, this week. Honestly man, where does all the time go? At least it’s Friday?
I’ll be honest- one of the reasons I bought this tea is because its part of the Met Museum/ Harney and Sons collaboration, and I am always swayed by beautiful packaging.
Which is not to say that the product inside isn’t the most important thing, and that I wont enjoy my favorites in boring tins, but…. if theres a really pretty tin? Oooh, I’m a gonner.
It’s a delicious tea, but the tin is what sold it.
Still, yum.
Yesterday I was fixing a cup of this and dropped the leaf all over the floor. Sigh. Oh, Monday.
Today was much more successful in getting the tea in the cup.
It’s gonna be that kind of week.
I like this! It’s one of the least “Christmassy” Christmas blends I’ve had. It’s light and fruity, and I like it. It’s gentle and refreshing this morning.
I am a sucker for nice packaging, and the Harney and Sons Met Museum collaboration is right up my alley, so I had to get this.
Now, usually I’m all for seasonality, and it’s a bit late in the year to start drinking Christmas teas, but this one is actually light and fruity. The main note is apricot, and so I don’t feel like a fraud when drinking it.
It’s light and very tasty, and the Met Museum tin is so pretty!
I put a small Lupicia order in a few weeks ago, and today I am happily sipping Orange & Ginger.
I like that it’s not too heavy. You arn’t bashed over the head with the orange or the ginger. They are a gentle, happy presence in the cup, not overwhelming.
It’s a really nice tea.
How is is Monday? Where did my weekend go? Where did my last week go?
Fortunately I have tea.
I am a creature of habits. I felt like this tea, so this tea I shall drink.
Tower of London is one of my favorite teas for those mornings where I want to just enjoy something without thinking about it too hard.
Its my birthday! And it got off to a wild start.
At 3 in the morning my phone rang. It was the security company for my office saying that the alarm was going off, and that police had been dispatched.
Fortunately they didn’t call back (which means that the police didn’t find anything), but I had trouble going back to sleep.
Ah well.
Adventures!
In any case, a lovely cup of a favorite tea is much desired today. Yum!
Friend of mine was there this weekend (Charleston Tea Garden). Haven’t caught up with her to see what she brought home.
