Enjoying this tea shared from VariaTEA this morning. After two cats decided it was a carnival last night and not a Sunday before a work week, I got up (not woke up, you’ll notice) and knew exactly what tea I needed haha.

This tea is delightful when done correctly. I brewed it just under boiling today and it’s got a nice syrup-y quality with a slight maltiness.

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 3 min, 0 sec 3 g 14 OZ / 414 ML

One time I was in Portland, Oregon, and saw an ad in the local paper for a kitty carnival. My time in the city was too short to marvel at that wonder.

haha derk. I can’t imagine! It’s also hard to imagine the “cat show” equivalent of a “dog show”.

Ha, three years later, my dad still complains that the cat act was cut from America’s Got Talent:

Act starts around 1:15

WHAT! Now how long did it take to train those cats? The least trainable animal. haha. That’s amazing.

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos (green preferable to red), herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens (mango or pineapple, yum!).

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it (Camellia Sinensis Earl Grey Cream is one of my favourites).

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan with an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I usually just pick them out of blends).
