Just me ’n my roasty friend here, steeping away the morning, and part of the afternoon! I know it must be boring to read me drinking this same tea all the time, but that is the fact of the matter :)

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 3 min, 0 sec

Not boring at all. Reminds me that I need to try this one if someone enjoys it so much!

Agreed, ashmanra – sometimes it takes seeing something logged five or six times for me to think I should pick up a sample and try it!

I love this one, and the Silk Road Teas Imperial Red. I like the Imperial Red a little better, though, but I can walk a few blocks and pick this up vs having to order the IR on the internet. If you had to order on the internet for either, though, I’d go with the Silk Road Teas Imperial Red – it’s more complex and has more pronounced roasty nut butter flavors. Plus, then, you can also order Dragon Balls! :)

I have been meaning to try some Dragon Balls…

ashmanra

Oh, all right! I’ll order BOTH! Sigh. What’s a tea drinker to do? :)

teabird

Oh my gosh, and Silk Road Teas lets you shop by province – I can find Fujian teas without memorizing all the names they go under! I’ll definitely be placing an order there at some point!

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
