Had a lovely cup of this in the morning. Excellent as usual :)

On a tea-related note, I went for a high-tea brunch type thing today with my great aunt and mom. I was quite excited for an authentic tea brunch experience :). Unfortunately, the tea was not spectacular. The special they had was a loose leaf orange pekoe, which I would have tried but my aunt and mom were getting it already, and I didn’t want us to all get the same thing! So I tried their decaffeinated black tea, which came in a bag. I was stuck between it and the jasmine green and the peppermint, but as we were having a English style tea, I thought I should get a black (and try to minimize caffeine). It was very watery and not flavorful at all :( my aunt and mom’s loose tea wasn’t much better though! After adding some honey and leaving it steep for a long time, it had some taste, but nothing like other teas I have had! The loose one was very much the same for both my aunt and mom. Luckily, the amazingly DELICIOUS food made up for it, and it was still a superb experience. I would go back because of the amazing food, not for the tea :P just thought I’d share that with the lovely steepsterites on here :)

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.
