drank Tokyo by Harney & Sons
513 tasting notes

I am so incredibly sleep-deprived that I can barely orient my fingers around the keyboard. I’m doing my best to hang in there until about 8:00 or 9:00 tonight, but I’m already starting to list to one side. My ear hurts for some inexplicable reason, and I feel bloated. I just want to trade my body in for one that knows what it’s doing.

Anyway, my complaining aside, I tried this tea with breakfast this morning. Thank you Courtney!

I must say, however, that it felt as though I was drinking a completely different tea from the one everyone is raving about on here, because I got a very basic savoury green, with no hint of caramel (or even sesame) whatsoever. It may be the bits of tea that made up my tsp of it, who knows. Courtney was generous enough to give me enough to have this again, and so I plan on doing just that. Not an offensive tea at all, although so far isn’t calling to me. Just as well though, since it’s not like I need an excuse to buy even more tea! haha.

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.
