Ok, time to work my way through my tasting note backlog. Yes, it’s 2am, but I knocked out 10 hours of sleep last night and am feeling great, so my natural night owl tendencies have come out to play. Plus, it’s Saturday night, so I can do whatever I want and I feel like drinking some tea :-P
This tea though. LOVE IT. Not only is it tasty as all get out, it’s just so interesting. It’s the white tea for black tea lovers ( I heard that on Steepster, although I don’t remember where, so the credit does not go to me). The leaves are just luscious; long and plump in browns, yellows, and greens. They smell citrus-y when brewing, although I did not get any citrus in the taste, and the liquor is a goldenrod yellow. So pretty :). The first sip is a mouth bomb of honey and malt dropped on your unsuspecting taste buds (mine don’t mind at all!). Once you’ve recovered, further sips bring out strong notes of bread and cream with subtle sweet potato notes floating here and there. Oh my yum, I have serious need of this tea. It will have a permanent place in my cupboard from now on! Thank you, Virginia, for sending me this sample! I discovered a new favorite :)
Flavors: Bread, Creamy, Honey, Malt, Sweet Potatoes

It takes only a night owl to understand another :-)
And after reading this, thank god for ordering some!! See? You are now enabling me ;-)
I would be a night owl every night if I wasn’t such a baby when I don’t get enough sleep (I’m a total grump face haha). Right now though, I’m having an awesome time drinking white tea and listening to Amy Winehouse :)
I hope you like it! You can blame this one on me, although I would point out you ordered it before reading my review :-P
Haha! True, I did order before…but had I not, I would have after reading this!
Oh, and a total Amy Winehouse obsessed fan here…still crying her death.
I didn’t really feel one way or the other about her music while she was still living, but I find I really appreciate it lately. I heard “Back to Black” today and couldn’t get it out of my head, which prompted this listening session. That song gets me every time!
