4267 tasting notes

additional notes:  Yep, my annual post for this tea in the OLD advent… basically keeping track of how old this advent is. haha.My Angry Tea Room advent is five years old now!  Still trucking.  I’ll be picking and choosing loosely which teas to have along with the Angry advent this year. :D    But somehow the flavor here keeps increasing? At least my steeping parameters have been improving over the years.  Also, I’m embarrassed at how I’m just now realizing that most of these are probably sourced from Adagio teas…

Yeah this fall instead of making an Angry Tea Room order, I just grabbed a bunch of stuff from Adagio.

I wonder if there is any evidence against ALL the Angry Tea Room teas being Adagio teas?

I’ve had ATR’s same pumpkin pie flavor from Tea Guys, and it looks like they may have some other blends in common as well. And there are other ATR blends I’ve had that I thiiiiink I recognized from other sources but it’s been too long to remember.

They also source from Dethlefsen & Balk.

Hi! I love tea and trying new ones – it adds a bit of variety to my day! Books, music, TV & movies are my thing… and tea, of course.

My icon photo is Richard Mayhew from the graphic novel ‘Neverwhere’ by Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey & Glenn Fabry.

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!
