16 tasting notes

I just ordered a few different teas from Teavana — it’s my first foray into loose-leaf tea. Decided to start with this one. I was pretty much won over by the smell! It smells freaking amaaaazing. I added a little bit of the rock sugar to the leaves as they were steeping, and then put a splash of milk in the mug with the tea — it tastes just as good as it smells. Like a very decadent desert, without the guilt. This will definitely be a repurchase, as I can see it becoming an evening ritual for me.

New to the world of high-end teas, and REALLY new to the whole loose-leaf thing. Hoping to become better versed in the world of tea, basically. I’d like to know more than just “Mmm, tea is yummy”. ;)

So far, I tend to gravitate more to black tea, I LOOOOVE me some chai, and I really really REALLY can’t stand rooibos. Something about it reminds me of a barnyard LOL There are some green teas that I’m really sold on as well. It really is just a matter of me exploring new flavors and seeing what I love and what could grow on me.

As for me, personally, I am 32. I have a beautiful daughter who loves learning about and sampling tea with me. I love to read, love music, and am basically a big ol’ geek at heart.
