1138 tasting notes

It’s one of those rough weeks…mountains of work, had an exam yesterday for my class, apartment problems (make me want to move to be honest) and not enough sleep on top of that. Sigh. I want this week to be over already, I want to finish all my work, and I want to move haha. Oh, and it’s that time of month lol. But I will persevere..with a cup of this tea this morning. Malty, dark, with a slight honeyed aftertaste. No milk in my cup today. Pure caffeinated goodness right here. This is giving me energy to keep going through the day, and tastes good to boot. Ugh I want to sleep, but I will keep working. See previous notes.

For sure!! A day with new tea is amazing, even if you don’t get to try them :P

Bio

Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)

I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
60-69: not horrible, but not the best, will finish if I have some though
50-59: not a favorite, probably will have a tough time finishing the bag
-50: yuck. I don’t want to have it ever again.
