drank London Fog by Silk Road
2955 tasting notes

I tried this over at a friend’s house last month and it was amazing! It is a typical “Vanilla Earl Grey” but with less bergamot and more of a rounded, malty black tea flavour. Next time I am at Silk road I’m going to pick up some of this to make London Fogs out of. It is soooo good with milk/

Flavors: Bergamot, Creamy, Malt, Milk, Vanilla

drank Herbal Chai by Silk Road
2955 tasting notes

This chai can be very spicy, so it makes a great morning tea (hence the name “cosmic consciousness”). It isn’t the same as most chais because it has more ginger and cardamon, which makes it unique. It is one of my favourite teas from Silk road because I love the combination of spices they use. It can be re-steeped several times and is also good iced or with sweetener.

Flavors: Anise, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Ginger, Spices, Spicy

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 5 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 12 OZ / 350 ML

Profile

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
