I broke out my cast iron tea pot for this afternoon tea blend…I mean I have all this GREAT tea ware that I never use. I figured it was time to stop waiting for a special reason to use this stuff! If you know me (or have read my reviews here on green teas) you know greens and I don’t typically get along AT ALL. I can never get them right. Usually I end up with a bitter brew which leaves me unhappy and the tea wasted. So I thought I’d try my hand at mixing two greens together!

I mixed the Pinhead Gunpowder with TWK’s Organic Sencha. I used a teaspoon of each tea and set my kettle for green tea temp. This will sound weird but the smell of the dry leaves just smelled green. When steeped there was more of that vegetal smell of spinach and kale, which I love. The taste? Well, it was awesome! I’m really loving these two teas together. Though I wish I’d added in some peppermint leaf to it. An added bonus is that the cast iron pot kept my tea warm without keeping it too warm and therefore BITTER. This mix is a win/win in my book.

Flavors: Green, Kale, Spinach

Bio

I am a tea lover, a wife, mom of one, and servant to three cats (all rescues). I love to read and write. I’m also a BIG fan of the following shows: BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who, Law and Order, Supernatural, Bones, and more – bless Netflix.

I started drinking and enjoying tea when I was 7 (sure it was bagged Lipton, but it got me started) with my grandmother. As I said it was Lipton with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there. I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana. But my taste has expanded to many different types of tea since then. I review teas at the link provided, check it out!
