drank North Winds by Whispering Pines Tea Company
359 tasting notes

If you think there’s no need to try North Winds cause you’ve already tried Golden Orchid and have it all figured out, well think again!

Yes North Winds is Golden Orchid’s base…but…they are two completely different teas.

And this is the new NW version…Yes, new and improved!

Smooth, rich and malty with no astringency.

When Yunnan meets Fujian, creating the perfect fusion. Pure symbiosis!

This is the tea I want in my cup on a lazy and cozy Sunday afternoon, in front of the fireplace.

Dark chocolate, dried fruits and toasty notes. It’s so warming!

It deserves a lot of love, it is after all Whispering Pines House black tea!

A real “maltfull” of happiness :-)

Profile

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
