Rhubarb Green

Ok last tea for the night. Not a fan TTB. This one is either stale or … I dont know… I feel like I’m just drinking hot water. Hot water with a lil flavor. Its not even getting that bitter and its been at least 3 mins. Rhubarb in tea doesn’t usually bring out rhubarb flavor.

This tea tastes very…green, there’s really no other way to describe it. It’s the greenest green tea that ever greened. I’m not getting much of the creamy fruit flavours other people have talked about – maybe there’s a bit of tartness but nothing that screams rhubarb to me. I’ll maybe try it with a longer steep next time.

Hello new job anxiety, my old friend!

Apparently, in order to start at my new (extremely part-time, temporary, seasonal, decidedly doesn’t even begin to cover my rent) job, I have to send some ID and proof of address and my original qualification certificates and a bunch of forms to head office in London. I’m wary enough about the idea of being without my passport for however long it would take them to receive it and post it back, as it’s my primary form of ID and I just KNOW I’m going to need it as soon as it’s gone, and my visa’s in there and I don’t know how replaceable those things are and I need it to be able to keep living here. And my degree certificate’s in storage back in Canada, and even if I can get my folks to unearth it and send it to me, that’s going to take a while. No no no, I don’t like any of this. Now I’m having an anxiety flap and trying not to cry and there’s nobody here to talk me down. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I’m just going to funnel rhubarb tea into myself until I can move from this spot where I’m sat, petrified with fear.

Rhubarb tea is good. I’m sad it’s being discontinued. It’s sweet and tastes like rhubarb and rhubarb is my favourite thing. It’s refreshing and lovely and green. Nothing about it is overbearing. It’s softening my headache. I’ll miss this tea when it’s gone.

I…. just got a bonavita electric kettle, and this tea is the first tea I made using my perfectly heated water. No more thermometers in my microwaved water as I scowl at uneven water temperature.

This tea was light, flavorful, gently sweet, not bitter or grassy. A fairly perfect green tea. I LOVE rhubarb like a crazy person. But there wasn’t an overabundance of that rhubarb-pie mouth-watering love I hoped for.

Very lovely tea though. I’ll likely try out other Adagio blends that use this. :)

I was skeptical at first because rhubarb? Seriously? But this tea was quite tasty. The rhubarb was detectable and not overpowering (barely there, in fact!), but the strawberry addition made this tea a winner and a good reminder of strawberry rhubarb pie.

Something about this tea is indeed “creamy” With a faint hint of yummy rhubarb bitterness.

The taste is divine! Not at all overpowering or bitter. One of my favorite green teas.
