I had this one for breakfast! A very nice tea, smooth and easy to drink on a cold January morning in North Dakota USA. I love that What-Cha allows online orders of 10 grams. I don’t want to buy 50 grams only to find out I don’t like the tea. I wish other tea companies would do that too. I think it would bring more return customers. If I buy ten 10 gram samples and find 4 that I love, the company will probably get a 200 gram order from me, or more, because I’ll probably throw in a few more samples I want to try. But my pocketbook and cabinet space tell me I can’t afford to buy too many 50 gram pouches of new tea, so maybe I won’t make an order at all from a new-to-me company to try new-to-me tea.

So far the two from What-Cha that I’ve sampled have been lovely. I’ve enjoyed them and can;’t wait to try more of my loot!

Small samples are the best. I’m still mostly in try all the teas mode, but I do tend to skip over companies that only sell larger quantities unless their prices are incredibly low. I’d rather spend $50 on a huge pile of samples and then reorder the ones I love, than $50 on a small number of teas and maybe end up with nothing I like.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
