Terri HarpLady drank Ten Year Aged Tieguanyin (Light Oxidation) by Verdant Tea (Special)

3294 tasting notes

This his been in my cupboard for so long that by now it is probably 13 years aged TGY :)
Anyway, it is still tasty, and I haven’t been drinking nearly as many Oolongs as I used to, although I am making more of an effort lately to either drink an oolong or a green each day, as I have quite a few (mostly oolongs, actually).

TGY always has a soothing quality to it, at least for me.

No, but I think that is because I had planned it to be a sip down long before now! It was from Verdant’s original TOMC. I have enough to drink it one more time :)
I’m trying to drink & let go of all the teas that have been in my cupboard for awhile, especially in small quantities. It’s been an ongoing process, but I’d really like to get the collection down to a more manageable & drinkable number, all teas I love.
Then again…you can never REALLY have too many teas, LOL.

Bio

I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!

My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.

In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)

I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.

And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
