drank Golden Monkey by Harney & Sons
1112 tasting notes

Just a note of continued appreciation for this one. I love Golden Monkey so much, and Harney’s is still the most consistently delicious one that I’ve found. Sweet honeyfruity which turns milky on subsequent steeps. Fantastic resteeper. Good at any temperature. Wonderful with a croissant!

I am very low, and I just checked — there is some available to purchase. It’s pricey, but very much worth it to me. Heaven.

Did you ever get to try Teavivre’s?

No, I haven’t!

I need to email you. You’ll never guess what made it’s way to my yard — a lost homing pigeon! I’ve been taking care of him for almost 3 weeks. I may need to make him a coop because even though I can read the bands on his feet but I can’t find an organization that corresponds to the bands!

Did you name him “Pidge?” (Pushing Daisies reference :)

I will send you some Teavivre! It isn’t super fresh, but it is super good. It is a bit different but very similar.

You know this is the first step to getting chickens, right? You start with a pigeon, build coop, then….Boy, the animals really know where to go! They have a secret symbol inscribed on your house.

gmathis — I was going to name him Pigwidgeon like Ron Weasley’s owl!

ashmanra — I was thinking that it was a baby step to chickens! Sorry my above paragraph was almost not understandable and filled with errors — I was so excited about the pigeon!
Here he is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/91317662@N02/8814693150/

He is adorable! Birds can have so much personality, and he looks like a real character.

Tonight I suggested the we eat at the patio table since it is so pleasant out, even though I knew that Sam and all four chickens would be milling around our feet begging for food. What I didn’t anticipate was that Comet would actually leap/fly onto the table – TWICE- and stand by my plate trying to get my food! I did share, but I guess I wasn’t handing it out fast enough for her!

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
