drank English Breakfast by Art of Tea
513 tasting notes

My head hurts and I want to go home and sleep.

I had a cup of this tea this morning and to be fair to it, i wasn’t really expecting much. It’s your average English breakfast, and that’s about all I can really think to say. I may have put in a bit too much sugar, so perhaps with a little less I’ll be able to “analyze” it more, but honestly, it’s just your average English breakfast. It’ll absolutely do in a pinch, is very inoffensive, and will be acceptable to pretty much anyone who drinks it. I won’t be restocking, but it came with my black tea sampler pack from Art of Tea, so I figured i’d give it a go. It pales in comparison to their biodynamic Darjeeling, which I actually think I might restock.

And now someone please come get me from work and take me home and make me a cup of (not this) tea and put me to bed. Thanks!
God it’s at times like these when I miss being a student. There just isn’t that kind of flexibility anymore. You don’t wake up with a splitting headache and get to decide to sit this one out—you doggedly plow on, proving to the rest of the world that “no sickness ’aint gonna get you down”, no sir. not you. because you’re perfect and hardcore. ugggh.

…almost. I say we start a revolution and have a four day work week.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
