52 tasting notes

I love how this tea smells. Adore it. So much so that I’ll occasionally open up my tea cabinet just to pop the lid and take a sniff.

After a slightly-longer-than-desired steep (pets are distracting little buggers) I was rewarded with a mid-amber brew that smells just like the leaf – fruity, sweet and gently tasty. Now that I’ve stopped sugaring my teas, however, I’m having just a bit of trouble finding those notes in the taste portion of my drink.

Adding a tablespoon of whole milk helps to temper down the intensity of the black tea and bring some of those fruity notes to the forefront, but overall I think this may be a tea which just requires some sweetener to truly shine.

Self-employed, sleep deprived and always on the go.

Trying to cut down on caffeine – trying being the operative word – but I’m generally an Earl Grey drinker with a strong aversion to coconut, jasmine and chocolate in my tea.

I brew almost exclusively Western style, unsweetened.
