Brewed this grandpa in a hurry this morning. School started and my reviews will probably be short until I get my schedule ironed out, books bought, etc. 16 credit hours and a job. Woo boy. I’ll come back to short reviews asap with second thoughts.

1 heaping tsp, 10oz mug, 175F, 2 top-offs. Initial thoughts: super sweet smelling dry leaf, liquor was unimpressive, more grassy than vegetal, light sweet thickness, some kind of umami in the back of the mouth that tastes off. Kind of like rancid coconut oil? rancid butter? liver? Maybe I’m crazy, maybe it was being in a rush.

Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C 1 tsp 10 OZ / 295 ML

Definitely don’t miss the ol’ college. Probably should’ve gone for the MLIS but never did because of the migraines, so left it at the Bachelors and was happy with that. Only ever pushed past 12 credits in a single semster once, and it was awful, never did it again. My sympathies.

Heh, thanks annie and Mastress Alita. Honestly, I’d rather be going for a bachelors in engineering but the University of California system is basically forcing me into a masters by not allowing 2nd bachelors students except for at one school. They give their reason but I think it’s bullshit.

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
