1155 tasting notes

I have most of the teas that I could ever want, but there’s still a few out there I want to try. Liquid Proust just released a few newbies along with my original fav. Spa Oolong, and decided to blend a Mi Lan Dan Cong with some Amacha leaves. I so happen to have both and blended a cup together.

I used what I had of Unytea’s amacha with the Bitterleaf Dan Cong hawkband1 traded with me, and the Gong Fu of it turned out nicely. It tasted like a Dan Cong overall, but with a heightened sweet and floral taste. The honey notes and the florals were really popping out. It gets ever sweeter and sugary later on. I can see why Andrew decided to put meadow on the name of his blend, making me think of sunshine in a meadow.

I am not sure I would drink something like this often though nevermind I would buy the idea of this pretty quickly. Guess I am too comfortable with what I have…though my desire for the Mordor blend is still there.

Me:

I am an MSU graduate about to become a high school social studies and history teacher. I formerly minored in anthropology, and I love Egyptian and classical history. I love to read, write, draw, paint, sculpt, fence(with a sword), workout, relax, and drink a cuppa tea…or twenty.

I’ve been drinking green and black teas ever since I was little living in Hawaii with a dominant Eastern Asian influence. I’ve come a long way since I began on steepster and now drink most teas gong fu, especially oolong. Any tea that is naturally creamy, fruity, or sweet without a lot of added flavoring ranks as a must have for me. I also love black teas and dark oolongs with the elusive “cocoa” note. My favorites are lighter Earl Greys, some white teas like What-Cha’s Kenyan offerings, most Hong-Cha’s, darker Darjeelings, almost anything from Nepal, Green Shan Lin Xi’s, and Greener Dong Dings. I’m in the process of trying Alishan’s. I also tend to really enjoy Yunnan Black or Red teas and white teas. I’m pickier with other teas like chamomile, green teas, and Masalas among several.

I used to give ratings, but now I only rate teas that have a strong impression on me. If I really like it, I’ll write it down.

I’ll enjoy a tea almost no matter what, even if the purpose is more medicinal, for it is my truest vice and addiction.
