How is it the afternoon already? A whole half day has gone by, and no tea yet for me!
I rumage around in my big-bag-o’-tea-to-drink-at-work, and I find.. a little tucked away sample of this! I thought this was all gone, everywhere! shifty eyes yummmMMM!
I am loving this magic bag.
Quick notes: orange cream, roasty toasty, salted caramel ice cream
particularly this ice cream (don’t look, ye of weak wills!):

I also love the feeling of this one on my tongue, both as I’m drinking and after I’ve finished the sip. The movement of flavors across my tongue.. like light in the water, or rolling waves of electricity. Or, as TeaEqualsBliss said it the other day:
flavors that move like a football-stadium-crowd-wave
I’ve found all exquisite teas share this movement, where my tongue feels like it’s changing colors like the lights on a deep-sea jelly-fish. A real treat to have this in my cup at work, and to have it linger so long in between sips.

Now that’s a good one. OK Jellyfish tongue! That’s a cool one. You sound tea drunk!!!! Funny!!!
Not tea drunk now, but perhaps I was when I thought of it! :D The image came to me while drinking some pu’er a few weekends back, and it’s been stuck in my head. How do you describe that feeling?
You mean the feeling the fuzzies or like after novocaine when your tongue is coming alive again? Morphing? I think what you said was quite fine and perfect!
I have tasted wine that was like descending rapidly into a cellar on an elevator through one flavor after another. The tannin in the wine kept tripping me over and over again with the ripe fruit. It was amazing. I counted at least 12 levels that I can remember which pleased the winemaker to no end. I’ll never forget it.
funny you mention Jeni’s as I get to work with them and occasionally add by tea and coffee inputs….she is a lovely lady and its so great that a fellow Ohio business is getting so much love
This is one I really really would love to try, must fine someone with enough that are willing to part with a serving in a swap.
