drank Zen Master by Whispering Pines Tea Company
1186 tasting notes

I was craving this tea tonight. With such a crazy week going on right now with work and school, I need some Zen in my life. This has such a lovely fresh flavor and im hoping it kind of chills me out and keeps my headache from returning. This is such a lovely blend that it’s difficult to describe the flavor, everything in it just flows into this river of excellent flavor. I like it, and must have this more often. I will rate it when I’m not on my phone. See previous notes on this tea :)

Oh, and also thought I’d post a photo of the mug I’m drinking it out of, because it is beautiful and I meant to put a pic up when I got it, oh and it seems to match the tea very nicely tonight (hopefully the link works lol)

You should try this for two minutes in boiling water :)

Bio

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.
