Am I cranky tonight? Hmmmm I don’t think so… Am I being too fussy tonight? hmmmm trying not to be.
Sorry VariaTEA – I seem to be striking out tonight with your teas. I really appreciate your choices, and even misses are learning experiences, but it’s always more fun to write I LOVE IT tasting notes. I don’t love this.
This is the first Nina’s tea that I’ve tried, and while I can appreciate that this is a quality tea, it’s not to my taste. It’s not that I dislike citrus, it’s just really finicky for me. I often find it too acidic – flavors that are strong and “real” citrus, often cause me to feel like the acid is burning my tongue. If that makes any sense to anyone other than me. This is one of those. To be honest, I often prefer citrus when it’s more “candy”. This did get better as it cooled – so I put the last of the sample in some cold water and tossed it in the fridge. Will see how I do with it cold steeped….
ETA: I like this better cold steeped.

I am typically the same with citrus. I did not mind this one too much but I could see why it would be too acidic. I am sorry they have not been all that successful though.
At least you have some Nina’s Japon. Hopefully that will be a better experience.
I’m hording that one – saving the best for last if you will. Will find a time when I can sit and really enjoy it. :))
As much as I love sharing teas that I think are amazing, I am always fearful that people will wait for it and then be disappointed. Luckily that hasn’t been the case so far and honestly I doubt it will be but there is always the anxiety that I hype it way too much.
