Backlogging three of the free tea samples from Nina’s that were tasted Wednesday.
I know I said that every tea I tried I was sure would be my favorite of the batch, but I think I can pin it down. This is it. The third tea I tried was my favorite because I really love the Keemun base that Nina’s uses. I had it in their Earl Grey, and the friend I shared it with went wild for it and ordered a tin.
Here I find that same, more-unsweetened-cocoa than-smoke, Keemun that I loved in the Earl. And paired with these lovely, exotic fruit flavors? Yes, please!
My secret is out. This is my favorite from the newest tasting batch….so far. I am saving the jasmine to taste with a friend. I try to share my free samples with other people because I feel it helps give the generous companies who send it more exposure, it gives me the opportunity to see the honest reactions of other people, and it hopefully makes other people happy to get to try them! Besides, tea is a really great accessory in my friendship, as well as being a great companion in solitutde.
That last sentence is downright profound.
I will take that as a “Amen!” :)
