drank English Breakfast by Art of Tea
513 tasting notes

Despite waking up feeling refreshed this morning, I wanted a cup of tea that didn’t require much thought or appreciation from me, so I chose this one. Like I said before, it’s a decent English breakfast, and it’ll do on mornings like this. everyone needs a few teas they can just drink without having too many feelings about them. I only have enough left for a few cups, and that’s just fine by me. Paired beautifully with my hash brown mmm.

In other news, my H and S order (via Chapters) indeed arrived yesterday, and I happily tore into the box. I ordered Vanilla Comoro, Hot Cinnamon Sunset, and Parris. The great thing too is that they’re all in separate (square! omg) tins, and because they’re in sachets, they all smell distinctly different so there’s no need to fuss with facetime and such. Win win.
I have a question about the sachets, though. Are they intended for about 12 oz of water? I heard somewhere that they’re better suited to larger mugs of tea, and not your typical 8 oz cup. Thoughts?

Anyway, I’m going to be at work today until 8:00 tonight, which is kind of painful if you think about it for longer than a nanosecond. Especially because it isn’t actually work; it’s one of those professional development seminar type things. Aaaaaahhhhh.

I would say the sachets are good for 12-16 oz. they are quite large and resteep really well. I have a 20 oz tea pot and will only use one sachet for it.

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.
