drank Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley [duplicate] by Simpson & Vail
247 tasting notes

I’m not sure that I’ve read Frankenstein. I know the story and have seen movies but I may have to put the novel on my list. This tea seemed appropriate for the spooky season.

I steeped the tea at 175 for close to 3 minutes to avoid bitterness. I had read that others made the mistake of steeping at higher temps. It’s a pretty golden color. The aroma is very artificial to me. I think it’s the addition of cacao and chocolate flavoring. I want a stronger blackberry taste.
Preparation

I listened to the audiobook on YouTube! Not a favorite, but it’s interesting to see how all the different media portrayals vary from the original.

Bio

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.

After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.

I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.

Rankings:
100-80 Love in varying degrees
79- 60 Good, but in the friendzone
60-50 Ok, would drink if offered
49-20 Don’t make me try it again!
19-0 Didn’t finish!
