jump62359 drank Mountain Organic Indonesian Green Tea by Tea At Sea

721 tasting notes

We made fresh pasta in cooking yesterday and we learned about the 4 different types of pasta. I was curious where gnocchi fell into the categories and Chef Brown said it was considered a dumpling. Huh. Good to know!
Well because of yesterday, I found out how EASY it was to make fresh pasta! The dough itself is fairly simple, it’s the shaping of the pasta that’s pretty time consuming.

Because of that, here I am drinking my Indonesian Green from Tea at Sea as my potatoes boil to make gnocchi :) I’ve never made gnocchi before, but I have made fresh pasta… like five times already soo EXPERIMENTATION! And if this comes out to a success, looks like we’ll be having fresh gnocchi in like a pesto chicken sauce in my next dinner party :)

Okay, tea time!
Tea at Sea seems like such a great tea company! And their packaging is SO FREAKIN CUTE.
This tea smells like any other green tea, but I know with my experience from the black, the actual taste of it is soooo much better! I’ve got high expectations for this tea!
Oohhh it smells like a bit of a roasted tea as it steeps! It’s actually fairly light green in colour.
Nice and smooth in taste. Between this and the black, I like the black a bit more. But good nonetheless :)

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
