Nxtdoor drank Momoko by Lupicia

284 tasting notes

OMG. Everyone is still here?!? More or less… Tea and I took a break for a bit. Pretty much all I drank was DAVID’s tea, and not often. I had switched to coffee and then just did that for a couple of years. Come back from work, have coffee. After dinner, coffee.
But recently a friend was visiting from the states and had an opportunity to place a Lucia and a Harney order. Since it’s been years, I wasn’t too sure what to order so I just rolled the dice.
Momoko made the cut.

I heated water for delicate instead of green (because yesterday’s Napa was bitter when steeped in “green tea” setting on the kettle) and it’s still bitter-ish. and floral.

bummer.

PS. Glad to see y’all are still here.

Bio

I started drinking loose leaf tea in the spring of 2013 (why do we feel compelled to mark the date of tea drinking somewhat like addicts counting their sobriety days?)

Never been much into tea before. Growing up in Romania, tea was something mom made for you when you were sick. As an adult, my hot beverage of choice has been coffee, both flavoured and regular. I’ve recently stumbled upon Teavana and DAVIDs TEA and quickly got addicted to the latter. Then came steepster and all else followed.

Formerly a mathematician and insurance adjuster, I gave up the corporate world and am now a professional chef. I drink wine and sometimes cheat on it with tea.

I lean heavily towards flavoured black teas. I’ve started to crave the occasional straight oolong and green but so far unflavoured black teas leave me unimpressed.

I’m learning so I drink them all. Am even introducing myself to pu’erh. So far I can do fine with the sheng cause frankly, they don’t taste like pu’erh to me. The shou is another story.

Note*: The virtual cupboard does NOT contain any of the samples I hold since most of them are one-cup quantity.

Note**: My partner, our home improvements, gadgets, mortgage, travel, wine and food have budget priority over tea.
