drank Orange Pekoe by Mother Parkers
1719 tasting notes

I know many of you will not drink any cup prepared with a tea bag. That’s fine. I have a few I still enjoy but mainly I have them in iced tea at my parents, or at a restaurant. This one I drink hot. It has far more depth than expected from a cheapster. Today this had a light smokiness that melted into very floral and fruity notes. I checked the wrapper to make sure it wasn’t an oolong. Honestly this CTC in a paper bag impresses me more than the high dollar loose leaf Darjeeling I had yesterday.

I have a few favorites that are in tea bags. Good tea is good tea even if it come in bag form! :)

You’ve waxed so poetically over this one, I feel the need to hunt it down. It’s a food service brand, correct?

This is what they serve when you order hot tea at our local Steak N Shake. I’ll see if I can’t get my hands on a bag to send your way.

I’ll have to check the Steak N Shake menu more closely next visit; never noticed hot tea as an option! (We go mostly for the shakes, but now that we’ve got a Baskin Robbins, loyalties are divided.)
