drank Tokyo by Harney & Sons
775 tasting notes

I haven’t been feeling tea for a long time. It seemed to be getting worse and worse. Even Laoshan Black was near to repulsive, and let’s be real – that’s just ridiculous.

Then, this morning, while I was packing up teas to have in my desk, despite this awful feeling, jessiwrites posted a lovely picture of her tea and I felt actual excitement. I had packed Tokyo for work and I thought maybe a green tea would work more in my favour than the black teas I’ve been trying. It seems to have helped, yay!

Tokyo was delightful. I sipped it slowly while I answered emails all morning. It was subtly grassy with a hint of caramel. Maybe this is all I needed to get back in the tea game. I may stick to my two greens – Tokyo and Bangkok – for the time being, at least until I’m brave enough to venture back into my favourite black teas.

A few of my favourite things: animals, the ocean, science (I’m currently doing my MSc in biology), travel, all things summer, and of course – tea!

I love chatting biology, so feel free to ask me about what I study or follow my instagram @biologistcourtney!

I love black teas and this is what I’m usually drinking. I pretty well always drink my tea without anything added.

I’m also fond of herbals, oolongs, and subtly flavoured greens. Whites are also enjoyable, and I’m always looking for a replacement for my all-time favourite Butiki’s White Rhino.

Pu’erhs, rooibos (specifically red, I’m more open to green), honeybush, and matés are not my favourite. I tend to avoid them altogether unless others find them so amazing they shouldn’t be missed.

Likes:
Creaminess, toffee, cacao (true dark chocolate flavour), coconut (true coconut flavour), and rhubarb. I’m open to flavoured teas but they can’t be cloying or fake/candy like.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, bergamot, flowers (rose and jasmine), hibiscus is hit and miss.
