DAVID’s TEA Advent Calendar Day 6:

Um. Maybe I didn’t brew it long enough or use enough tea. This one was like warmed up water to me with a faint tangy flavor. It was very light in color. I will try it again and rate it then.

So far I haven’t had any clear winners with the advent calendar. There have been some pleasant teas, but no Wow, knock my socks off teas. Of course, we still have 18 days to go!

This was my first big meh from the calendar. I loved coffee cake.

I also leafed the pot quite heavily, I must say. Mine was very apple-y indeed.

I wasn’t thrilled with Coffee Cake. However, I will try it again. Sometimes it take a couple of tries to get it right.

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.
