Backlogged from this afternoon.

I was running late for class this morning and forgot to make a lunch let alone pack it. I did make some tea though, always time for tea. Anyhow, I went to the local shop and got some pizza (it was much cheaper than their $6 salads and wraps), a banana, and they had some H&S teas and I picked this one. I wasn’t expecting much but It wasn’t bad at all. The initial smell was very fruity and a bit tart with the floral oolong underneath it. The first steep wasn’t too bad, more fruity, not too tart, but not much oolong either. The second steep was better, less fruity more oolong, not bad at all. A nice sweet, floral tea to offset the cheesy, salty pizza and slightly under-ripe banana.

I’m an avid tea drinker, it’s what I drink all day and why I’m here. I don’t sweeten my teas except for the occasional iced tea or cold-brewed tea. I typically brew my teas with a brew basket in a 12 oz cup. If I brew another way I will always note it.

Dislikes: black teas, milk flavored oolongs, hibiscus, red rooibos, licorice, dessert teas, mate, guayusa.

Loves: straight teas, especially Chinese green teas, sencha, jasmine, dan congs, mint, coconut.

My ratings are based mostly on the smiley faces. If a tea is of good quality but not to my taste preference I try not to rate it because I think that is unfair.

I drink a lot of the same teas and will not record every time I drink them. I log them the first time I try them and then again if I did something different and/or got different results.

I also try to keep my cupboard updated to what I actually have for those that wish to swap, although some of them are merely samples.
