Backlog from yesterday/day before:

I’ve had this for over a year now, and visually it hasn’t aged very well – the strawberry pieces are almost black, and I worried that the graham cracker pieces might have gone soggy and started growing mold from our damp climate. Fortunately it seems to just be cosmetic, as it still has a cheerful flavor of summer fruits. Sweet enough to drink on its own, though I liked it better after adding a little agave. I found it a bit weak having followed the suggested 1 tsp (which isn’t that much, given the chunky graham and strawberry pieces), so I’ll probably increase it to 1 1/2 next time.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

I grew up in New Jersey drinking Celestial Seasonings, and now I live in England, where I developed a taste for a good builder’s brew. Sometime in 2012 I bought my first loose teas, and my collection has since spiraled out of control. Still quite a novice, due to not drinking enough tea to keep pace with the amount I keep buying.

Some things I’m pretty sure I do like:
- most florals (jasmine, orange blossom, osmanthus, etc)
- buttery, vegetal greens
- malty blacks (usually with milk & sugar)
- oolongs that aren’t too heavily roasted

Not really feeling the flavored teas lately, for whatever reason.

All tasting notes use unfiltered hard tap water, unless otherwise specified.

No real method to my numerical ratings yet, but we’ll see what develops. So far I’ve only given ratings of 90 or higher if I actually get excited while drinking the tea.
