Third try at this tea. Tonight I increased the leaf by almost double. The tea is strong now (and I like then strong) but still doesn’t taste like grapefruit. It’s not a bad tea, and it is filling my craving for a strong black tea by being a strong tea. I avoid caffeine after about 4 so craving a black before bedtime is bad.

Curled up in my chair, tall cup of this, watching TV. Life is good.

In other news, I visited my 76-year-old mother this past weekend and exposed her to loose leaf tea. She liked it, so today I shipped her a brew cup and a tin of tea.

Bio

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.

Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.

If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
