Drank this while I was watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Man they were awesome! Although, unfortunately there was a pal cast over things by Georgian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili’s death while training on the track up at Whistler today. :(
Preparation
It was so sad to see the Georgian team come in with their black armbands, and as the music died down and the crowd stood. So sad. I can’t believe that they’re blaming him, and not the track! One luger was knocked unconscious last week, and several have fallen off their sleds. Several others have reported having great difficulty navigating the track. Ugh.
I steeped this a bit longer than I normally do and I’m noticing a nutty flavour coming out of the background – not unlike the one I get from Angrboda’s Pai Mu Dan that she sent me. LOL, it’s making me ridiculously proud that my sense of taste is becoming well-developped enough to pick out what variety of tea is in a blend. :D
Preparation
Ah, it’s nice to revisit an old favorite. I unearthed this while sorting through my tea cupboard in an attempt to: a) arrange things so that I don’t risk an avalanch every time I open the door, and b) sort out what I might like to donate to the Travelling Teabox (and yes, Angrboda, I know I’m #25 – it’s your own fault for getting us so excited about the whole thing). ;)
Preparation
Well, I couldn’t have done it in secret. :p It’s the price we must pay. But for all those impatient peeps out there, remember that I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom! Oh, I hope it gets to the first person soon!
So I got vaccinated for the swine flu and the regular flu today (yay universal healthcare)and my arms are feeling rather sore so I needed something nice and soothing. This late in the day I generally don’t need the big energy jolt that black tea gives me unless I’m either studying or going out later.
This is still may favorite white tea, I love the flavourful white tea accented with notes of real pear. Although I think I might have oversteeped it just a touch judging by the taste; it’s like it’s just on the cusp of turning bitter.
Preparation
I was impressed to see real pear bits in the ingredient list. Most fruit teas just have some mysterious ‘flavouring’ and leave it at that. The tea is nice and smooth and I love the hint of pear which is just strong enough to make itself known without overwhelming the tea.
Still enjoy this tea. Some teas I have a problem with ginger. For some reason the ginger content in this tea is just a happy medium. Nice! LOVE the smell before, during, and after steeping, too! Doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste so that is always a plus. Looking forward to getting another tea from Revolution in the near future, I hope…
