Day 4 of Ms Theresa’s Breakfast Blend Protocol!
This is a blend of 7 black teas, and the most noticeable feature (today) is a tart lemoniness that lingers after the sip. Not as bold as I remember it initially being, but this tea may be a bit different each time I drink it, due to the mix of so many leaves & the level of shaking/mixing involved. Today it is bright & lemony, for sure, with a rich base.

The subtle differences that you are detecting are mainly due to the presence in all our teas of single estate, small garden teas. These do have a year-on-year variance.
Rather than try to blend these variations out, we prefer to enjoy them: is’t like running into an old friend with a new hairstyle.
Most of our teas will do vary year on year, and Lord P has more teas in it than any other.
The other fact or some of teas, most notably the chais, is settling of heavier spices to the bottom. I just made the last of my tin of Lemongrass and Ginger White Tea, and it was exceptionally gingery.

Bio

I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!

My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.

In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)

I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.

And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
