drank Special Dark by Mandala Tea
2462 tasting notes

My second sipdown of the week. Haven’t logged the first yet.

My daughter made chocolate pie and I was craving salty and sweet so I made popcorn and this tea to go with it.

I had very little Special Dark left sadly, and needed a really big pot because my husband was joining me. I steeped what I had twice and put the rest of the leaf in a bit of water in the fridge for tomorrow.

This is a really reliable, smooth, tasty shu. It goes so well with desserts but is also delicious to just drink and enjoy. You can do so much with it. Because it is smooth, you can steep it for a long time, but it is really good even if you like your shu on the light side.

Now let’s see if this posts!

Sil: indeed a sad one. I took the tiny bit of leaves and cold steeped overnight for a very weak but still tasty cold tea to go with supper. I couldn’t waste it!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about ten years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

I am also reviewing for Sororitea Sisters now!

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
