I stumbled on Pekoe Tea Lounge as I was walking down the street. I had this one in house. I have been SEARCHING forever for a great tasting, not too artificial or chemical tasting apricot tea. This one smelled so good. Like sweet, dried but juicy, apricots. I ordered a large French press. I am unsure how long it steeped for but I am guessing between 3-5 min before I pressed the plunger down. It tasted like a medium bold black tea with a nice apricot flavour. It is slightly artificial but still quite delicious. There is a very slight sweetness. Very similar to fresh, dried apricots. The tea got astringent towards the end of the French press but I am not surprised as it would have been sitting for about an hour.
This is You :-D

Bio
I am a lifetime tea lover.
I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.
My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.
I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.
I love iced teas and cold brews.
My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.
I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
