drank Sweet & Spicy Pecan Chai by 52teas
768 tasting notes

I finished the very last of this. There wasn’t quite a teaspoonful left so I augmented with a pinch of plain Ceylon. Quite tasty. A little sweet, but not that annoying artificial sweetness. Just about a perfect cup. I haven’t had a tea from 52Teas that I haven’t enjoyed. When I finally do get down to my Twenty Teas tea chest, one of the revolving teas will always be one from them.

I keep reading “twenty teas” and honestly… I have no idea how I’d do it, except that most of my favourites are hard to get or from companies that don’t exist any more. So in theory, that will make it easier. Right?

Right! I figure I’ll be rotating teas. (in the event that I ever actually get down to 20!) Because there are a lot of teas that I freaking love, and I’m sure to find more keepers as I go on. But really, at this point my mythical Twenty Teas tea chest is just that. Mythical.

Hehe. :) I started writing up a list, and it kinda went like…
1 sheng
1 oolong
2 shou
2 chinese black
2 assams
5 flavoured black
etc. :D That’s about how specific I can get, really.

Bio

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.
