drank Black Pearls by CitizenTea
1789 tasting notes

I’m back! (Let’s see for how long?)

But I met up with VariaTEA, Sil, Kittenna and Christina today in Toronto, we swapped tea, caught up on what we could in a few hours, and… I miss you guys. :P

I haven’t made an actual tea order in… months, but I bought a bunch of samples from CitizenTea last month, and so far I’m pretty impressed. No, they’re not the fanciest-pantsest of tea companies out there, but it’s good quality, good prices, excellent customer service, and I love the packaging.

I brewed up three pearls, and gave it 4 minutes. The result was a nice bright brew with chocolate and honey notes, and a smooth finish. I left it unfinished for half an hour, and when I came back to polish it off, it wasn’t bitter at all either. That’s what I’m looking for.

I would definitely order more the next time they offer free shipping etc.

Bio

Tea: I just started drinking loose tea in the fall of 2012, and once I started I had to get more and more and try ALL THE TEAS. Joining Steepster made this worse/easier.

So far it seems that I prefer unflavoured black teas, although I still drink a few that are flavoured each day too. Oolongs, greens, puerhs and white teas are all very good, but I just don’t crave them as often.

Yet.

Me: Ok. Random things. I like animals, I have a little girl and a devoted bf, two cats, and … I’m a geek. I like Lord of the Rings, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, fandom!, pen&paper RPG’s, online RPG’s, video games, silly internet memes, puzzles and a bunch of others things! I taught myself to knit and I’m considering crochet but I need to make time for all these things!

I keep trying to learn languages on Duolingo and failing. I’m currently failing Esperanto. :P
