1118 Tasting Notes
My morning pot of tea. The first cup I added milk and sugar. I enjoyed it, but some of the flavor was masked by the sweetness. The following cups I only added milk, and each cup was lovely. I think this is the first pot of tea I have drunk by myself. It is a very good basic black tea. I’m sure once my family figures that out I will not have the pot to myself for long.
Preparation
Comfort in a cup. The white tea is light and refreshing. The mint is dominant, but pleasant. At first, I did not notice the ginger at all, but after several sips I felt it in the back of my throat. It was warm and stayed there well after I had finished my cup.
Preparation
I was at the store today, and I notices that the holiday teas had made their way to the shelves. After looking at all of the selections I chose Christmas morning, and I am glad that I did. It is an interesting mix (Assam, Ceylon, Sumatra, Jasmine green tea, and Keemun) that is easy to drink, and strong enough to be in the “first mug of the morning” category. This could be one of my new favorites.
