Maddy Barone drank Ceylon Golden Tips Black by What-Cha

768 tasting notes

I enjoy a straight black tea in the morning. Something plain and robust but not bitter. This tea is more mellow than robust, but it is smooth and mild. I don’t get that bitter coating on my tongue after the swallow. After reading some other comments, I followed the brewing directions and made sure the water wasn’t boiling when I poured it into the pot. Really a nice cup! And mild enough to enjoy any time of the day. Glad I tried this one!

Preparation

185 °F / 85 °C 2 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 14 OZ / 414 ML

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.
