thanks again for this one variaTEA. this time around the bag smelled way less like alcohol. I’m rather enjoying this cup – a good balance between the maple and the genmaicha!

My bag smelled super chemically, a lot like cheap vodka and artificial flavours? I’ve never had a bad experience with a 52Teas blend, so this was very unusual. It was so pungent that nobody at the tea party would try the tea. Did you find your bag smelled like chemicals at all?

52Teas

Yikes – I don’t know why that happened – I did let the tea cure – perhaps not long enough? I apologize!

It did the first time I opened it Arby’s, but the brewed tea was fine…the second time I opened it, it was fine. You may just want to let a bit of air in and give it a day.

Arby

I’ll try that. I thought it tasted ok on the second steeps onward, so I’m guessing it was something that will off-gas or dissipate.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
