Last freebie from the San Francisco International Tea Festival.

So this is a proper British cup? Robust with dark wood, dark toast and malt. Hefty seems like a good way to describe how it feels in the mouth. Not too astringent but what is there only effects my tongue. Two bags in a big mug had with a waffle and berry breakfast is fueling a top-to-bottom cleaning of the bathroom and hanging of 6 loads of laundry on the clothesline. Pretty solid without milk and sugar but not something I’d go for often.

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.
