Decided to pull this out of the cabinet and try it again this afternoon. This is a very generous tea, giving up repeatedly tasty and aromatic liquor. There’s a sweet smokiness to it with a lingering mouth feel I can’t quite describe. There’s a coolness that lingers after drinking this tea, but it’s not at all minty. I still like it, but I wish I’d have made a pot of black tea instead.
I’ve heard others refer to me as a Renaissance man. I’m more apt to describe myself in a sentence ending with “…and master of none.”
I play music. I design and build things. I love art and quirky stuff. And I have a really cool wife.
In an attempt at a more graceful aging, I entered the wonderful world of tea for its health benefits in 2017. A home roaster and seasoned coffee-ologist, I dove quickly in, gleaning knowledge from every source possible and tasting all I could afford to buy, beg or borrow. Hundreds of cups, pots, bags and blends into it, I still consider myself a neophyte Steepster.
I’ve discovered I am a huge fan of Pu-erh and Assam, and quickly warmed up to Oolong, Yunnan Blacks, Keemun, and Matcha.
I enjoy Tisanes, too. We buy herbs in bulk and blend for both benefits and taste. In that order.
