Backlog from this morning.
I brewed a travel mug of this to take to work, and I just used a tea filter—it actually keeps the tea nice and hot. I’ve found that steeping it elsewhere and then transferring it just make sit lose heat, and I mean even too much heat for me.
Anyway, it had the hint of deliciousness I remember, although I think I didn’t add nearly enough cream for my tastes because I found it to be a bit watery in my travel mug. Ah well, better next time, right? I’m glad I have another two oz of it coming in the mail, because when I brew this in a regular mug at home it’s perfect.
Sorry my tasting notes have been rather lackluster as of late; I had a busy but good weekend at home, and was actually swamped at work today. I should have more quality time to write tasting notes soon though, hopefully.
This is You :-D

Bio
Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.
As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!
Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
