This black tea has its own unique flavor to it — I thought chocolate, my friend thought puerh, regardless its a fantastic tea.

For those who are on the fence about Puerh, this one is really nice. The ginger adds a spicy note and cuts some of the funky taste the puerh.

Yellow tea is such a rare treat, but this one is definitely worth the price. It’s become my “special tea” — the tea to drink when I’m having a bad day, or definitely want a tea with a lot of caffeine in it.

Lemongrass, ginger, peppermint, and pepper are the strongest flavors in this tea. Great for a slightly spicy, warm non-caffeinated drink.

Light, fruity, and floral, and such a treat. One of my favorite senchas by far.

A very nice Earl Grey. Let it cool a bit after steeping, as that seems to bring out the flavor more. The cornflowers really add a nice touch to the taste of the Earl Grey.

The perfect blend of lemongrass and green tea that gives it a nice, sweet flavor. It was out of stock for awhile, so we’ve been nursing the last bit that we have left because it’s so tasty. It doesn’t seem to be too caffeinated either, making it a great mid-afternoon tea.

Sour and full of lime. The essential oil means that the second steeping seems almost more flavorful, and it can get about three steepings. A great night tea.

Bio

Writer/poet/zine-maker from the Pacific Northwest. My girlfriend calls me T, so you can imagine there are a lot of T/tea puns in this house.

My tea tastes tend to vary wildly — I go through tea “seasons” where I prefer one kind over another. I like interesting infusions and exploring new tastes. Recently I’ve started blending my own tea.

Tea is best served on the porch, under the tree, or next to my typewriter, if it’s raining. And of course, it’s often raining.
