It’s a teabag from a hotel room, and it looks like that’s how most people have experienced this tea.

I had to evacuate from my home in Boulder Creek because of the fires. Tonight is my last night staying in the hotel, and I’m finally trying the teabags. The hint of cardboard flavor might be because I microwaved the water in a paper cup. For a basic bagged English breakfast, it’s pretty good.

I tried adding a little vanilla almond milk, but I don’t recommend it. It didn’t mesh well, just tastes kind of weak.

Before I drank the second steep, I had some Moroccan garbanzo beans. The spices left in my mouth totally overwhelmed the flavor, and it tastes a bit like chai now. Which isn’t bad, LOL. But that doesn’t say much about the tea, other than that it pairs well with the food.

Flavors: Cardboard, Honey, Malt, Tea

Boo for having to microwave water and drink from a paper cup, and yaaaay to getting to go home to your normal tea stuff! I will miss you when you lose your Internet, though. Hope it isn’t for too long before we can have Zoom tea again. :-)

Zoom tea won’t be too far off, even if it has to be in my car somewhere with signal, LOL. Thanks! The house is fine. We’ve been back there already. Just no power or internets, and questionable water that’s only trusted for flushing the toilet till it’s checked out.

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
