Here’s Hoping Teabox – Round Seven- Tea #2
A tea from Georgia, which is a place I haven’t heard tea coming from very much. It’s a tasty one! The leaves are big and full and there is such a sweetness here. It’s kind of like a Ruby tea or Sun and Moon or Taiwanese Assam. I think fans of Butiki’s PTA would like this one, but it still isn’t quite the same. Really great flavor here but not quite the same complexity as PTA but that is tough to match! It’s also tough to report what these flavors are but the two steeps were fantastic — very thirst quenching. Possibly hints of molasses, raisins, but definitely the sweetness takes over. Happy to find this in the tea box!
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug// 12 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 //few minutes after boiling // 5 minute steep

I have a few of those Georgia teas from What-Cha and all of them have been excellent. I didn’t get this one though. Might need to add this one to the November tea shopping list.

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
