Recieved this a sample with my order from Tea House 278. Brewed in my Breville, this was a satisfying morning “wake up” tea. Top notes of cocoa, roasted coffee beans and maple syrup. Hints of toffee and whole wheat pancakes. Yum.

Immorally floral! Honeysuckle, gardenia and orchid with a buttery, creamy mouth feel balanced by fresh green watercress and butter lettuce.

My granddaughters love this when we have tea parties – English style with Blooming teas. So much fun!

The photo was so pretty I had to order it. It was nice, but like most flavored or blended teas I order, I wound up gifting it to a friend.

Too much jasmine for me. Gifted it to a friend who really loved it.

I don’t drink many blends, but ordered this as a dessert tea. It was lovely while it lasted. I used a tiny bit of raw sugar. Yum!

Bio

My 38 year commitment with tea began as a morning relationship with simple malty blacks with notes of honey, cacao & spice. I’m still faithful to this ritual, however my tastes have evolved from a bag of leaves into loose leaf varietals with depth and power. After an hour or more, as my morning wake-up ritual with one of my black teas draws to a close, I become rather fickle.

I adore oolong or sheng pu-erh in the afternoon, although I regularly have short flings with white tea or matcha. Green leaf is my least favorite, although I do enjoy it from time to time. I have also recently begun to enjoy shou, after an abysmal first experience.
