So I’m trying this one more time because I really didn’t like it the last time I had it. It tasted like a sea-weedy green tea to me. This time I used less leaf and steeped it at a lower temperature it was better.

There are dueling flavors going on in this tea. The first is a vegetal, creamy quality that tastes like a green tea. As it cools, this develops a little more of a nutty flavor. The second flavor is a very bright, tart, almost coppery tone. It is a distracting flavor and almost makes my mouth pucker each time I sip.

These two qualities kind of fight for attention in my mouth, almost always ending in the coppery flavor winning out in the aftertaste.

Although I like it better than the first time I tried it, this just isn’t my tea. Off to Rosehips it goes! :-)

I’ll send the Margaret’s Hope Darjeeling to you to. It’s just not my type of tea.

I run, I sing, I drink tea. That’s the best description I have of me.

I’ve always enjoyed tea, but have just started trying out a lot more loose teas and varied brands. I’m really excited about a site like steepster so I can read about what people think about different teas.

Oh and I really hate Lipton tea. There’s something just awful about it and I can’t understand why nearly every local diner only has Lipton.

Also I’m on the search for a full-bodied, fruity blackberry tea. So if you have any suggestions feel free to throw them my way! :-)
