DAVID’s Tea Advent Calendar Day 10.

I’d just had a cup of black passionfruit tea (the Hawaiian Tea Company, sent to me by a friend who lives in Honolulu) and I quite liked that one. When today’s tea was a GREEN passionfruit, I balked. I do not like green tea generally. But I am determined to try at least one cup of every tea in the calendar. You never know. Something that you would never in a million years want to try could turn out to be your new favorite. This one, sadly, was not nearly as good as the black tea I had earlier. It tasted very grassy to me, which is the thing I particularly don’t like about green tea. There was a nice little fruity zing that saved it from being poured down the drain. But I don’t believe I will finish the little canister. I foresee lots of donations to the church’s tea chest coming up in January. :)

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.
