This tea smelled amazing when I first opened the package. Then I inhaled deeper and smelled a very strong artificial flavor. The flavor of the tea itself is similar for me. At a certain temperature it smelled and tasted lovely, but all the other sips just smelled off and it had way too many different flavors going on that were not at all cohesive. Oh well. It was on sale and nice to try.
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
