TeaTiff TTB cuppa #4

So, this is the not the first cup of tea I’ve had from this box (it is the fourth) but it’s the one that’s bringing me out of a 2+ years hiatus from tasting notes.

I am doing a long shift at work today and I pulled some black teas to try while I am here. Not a big black tea drinker, but knew I needed to get through the day.

The leaves look all twisty and pretty dry and so I did one David’s Tea PS (which I believe is 2.5 grams?) in my 16 oz holiday Nordic Mug. I steeped it short (maybe 3 mins max?) let it cool and so sipping it warm at my desk. The leaves will be reused for a cold brew that I’ll steep overnight in work fridge and sip tomorrow.

It’s a nice enjoyable cuppa, nothing noteworthy to me as bad (and sorry, I don’t have the tastebuds and nose for any fancy tasting notes). It’s a good start to my morning. :)

It also delights me that reading over the tasting notes this is Martin’s favorite black tea since this is who I got the TTB from and wanted to especially try the teas he put in since I’ve never been to or had tea from Czech Republic!

I am glad that you liked, though this particular harvest seems to be a little different than previous ones. I don’t remember though if it is 2022 or 2023, but definitely will get more in 2024 :)

Not a huge fan: rooibos/honeybush, black tea, puerh.

I post here and there on Instagram, need to start posting there more regularly.

I love to share/swap/take in homeless teas… if you have something (even if it’s just enough for one cup – for me one cup is a 16-20 oz size) to share / want to swap / etc. feel free to send me a message. I don’t have any allergies and love trying new things! :)
