I love, love reading reviews here… What about that moment, when you read a post and get instant craving for that tea AND you happen to be so fortunate to have a suply somewhere in the cupboard?
Don’t you feel like the luckiest of them all then? (Once you are able find it that is)
It took me a frustrating 5min. Call me crazy (it’s ok, I know I am), but I became obsessed during that frantic search. I had one goal only: FIND IT AND HAVE IT, NOW!!
Premium Taiwanese Assam, you know how much I adore you, but get out of my way, you’re not the chosen one today!
Ahhhh…there it is, one oz left, plenty to make me a gigantic pot!
The bold and the beautiful…with that «in your face» assam taste, (I like to abuse it with steeping time), warm crimson red/copper color, the intoxicating aroma reminiscent of good quality pipe tobacco…(what could she possibly know about good quality pipe tobacco you ask? Well I had a grandpa that I loved very much !!).
That’s the tea I needed and I didn’t even know until I read Terri HarpLady’s post…the beauty of Steepster!
Thank you Terri :-)

Terri does have a way of making you crave a tea, although she often says very little about the tea itself! She clearly has some sort of mind-control power. :p
Yes. I’ve smelled that in some puerhs. There’s a Netflix video Somm about 4guys testing for Master Sommeliers. The way they taste, describe wine reminds me of how we do the same with tea.I think being wineries and orchards all my life is why I love puerh.
Ha ha. Love it!
Thank god I found it!!!

I love when Steepster notes give me ideas on what to drink. :D
