donkeyteaarrrraugh drank Malachi McCormick's Blend by Harney & Sons

184 tasting notes

I beginning to come to the conclusion that this tea ALWAYS tastes good. It is a RARE chilly rainy weekend morning in the San Diego area, and we get very few of these, so I always choose my tea carefully. This morning I chose this… and I’m glad I did. The tea is a “mouthful” without a lot of astringency, which has a tendency to give me a bit of a tummy ache. It matches the weather today beautifully AND it is exactly what my mouth wanted. Not fancy, but who needs fancy when you have rain in southern california? :)

Preparation

Boiling 4 min, 15 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Spot or pot, I love a cup!

I learned to drink tea while living in Dublin in the early 80’s, so as you can imagine, I am a hearty brew lover, and take tea with milk and honey. I am trying to expand my horizons with tea….that is why I’m now on Steepster! Joined in January 2014.

Currently loving strong black teas that hold up to milk and honey well. I have a curiosity about keemuns and yunnans, but smoky ones are out. Green and white teas are off my radar, but making little forays into oolong and darjeeling tea. Herbal? So far only cacao tea has gone into regular rotation in my tea routine.

I do like some naturally flavoured teas…almond, vanilla, cardamom, ginger. This seems to be mostly in the cooler months…but mostly I’m an unflavoured tea drinker.

Life is too short for bad tea and bad bread.
