902 Tasting Notes
My last pot of the evening…so glad that my conference is in town this week!! It means I get to sleep in a smidge, and that I didn’t have to abandon Chloe (what, has nobody else named their Breville?), and can have delicious tea before I go to the morning sessions. Granted, I’ll probably not get to have any once I’m there, but at least I’ll have a few really good morning cups!!
Preparation
Another last pot! I do really enjoy this tea, though, and would certainly consider another tin of it…after I’ve tried some others on my wish list first, though!
Preparation
It feels good to decupboard a tea doesn’t it! Need to start working on that in my cupboard. Too many teas open right now, but I’m not patient to wait to try teas that I get in!
This really isn’t patience…it’s so that I can reward myself with more tea! I’m plotting a David’s order next week…and am anxiously awaiting the “special mid-week blend” that Frank hinted at. Though, I’ve got to admit, my cupboard is tidier!! Well, for now, that is…
Lol, I like the way you think. I’ve been stalking David’s site since I first heard mention of Pumpkin Chai. And with a $50 order they ship free! I just don’t have a third cupboard shelf to take over…I technically have 3 shelves if you count the boxes on top of the cuboard, but I don’t count those:)
I’m eyeing the fall sample collection myself, which is over halfway to $50, so I might as well get more, right? And samples really don’t count towards your cupboard…because they don’t take up that much space, right?
Yes, my friends take me shopping with them often, because I can almost always find some reason to justify the purchase of anything. And you only have 2 shelves!! We never count the boxes on top.
The fall collection teas sound good. So does the wine collection. The sample sizes really make me feel less guilty! Can’t wait to read your tasting notes when you order. I need to make at least a small dent in my stash soon. Too many great 52teas have been ordered!
I’ve got a section of my cupboard dedicated to 52teas bags. Actually, there’s technically two (one shelf has caffeinated blends, the other decafs/herbals). I’m quite proud that I’ve went this long without ordering more (this week will make two if I manage to resist whatever he reveals later)!
Oh, yes, the wine sampler!! Perhaps that should go in my cart as well!
I too have a special 52Teas section. It’s it just crazy
About to head out of work to attend a pre-conference session. Can you sense the excitement? Here’s hoping that there’s tea there along with the copious amounts of coffee that’s usually served. Taking this with me, just in case, but I think we all know that it will barely last the 10 minute drive there (love when conferences are in town!), let alone the 2 hour session.
Preparation
When I was little, my dad and I would walk through the neighborhood and gather little green apples from our neighbors’ trees. Then we’d sit on the front porch and gorge ourselves on them until we were sick to our stomachs and Mom was yelling at Dad for ruining my appetite for supper. When I saw this tea, I knew I had to try it, if for no other reason than nostalgia.
I’m rather impressed with it, too. The green tea base is delicious and slightly buttery, and the apple is crisp and tart. I can definitely detect a bit of the “Jolly Rancher” sweetness, but the flavor isn’t too candy-like. It’s not as tart as mine and Dad’s little green apples, but it’s not far off.
You named your Breville LOL! Mine came today woohoo! I will have to think of a name for it :)
