This is my first sample from the Portland Tea Festival by mail, which Sara told me about. I paid for a box with a shopping bag, two tiny tea cups (the kind you’d use for samples at a live tea festival), and lots of samples.

Mmm, this is nice! It’s very berry, but I can only pick out the blueberry flavor as distinctive. I pick up hints of honey and floral notes at the end of the sip. This would be excellent to sip in a rose garden in Portland.

Flavors: Berry, Blueberry, Floral, Honey

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec 4 g 12 OZ / 354 ML

Hopefully I will dig into my samples sooner rather than later this time… I think I still have a few floating around from San Francisco International Tea Festival 2018…

At least samplers are quick and easy to sip down!

I wish I had known about this.

Is this still available (the portland tea festival by mail box)??

Mastress Alita

It is not. They were a limited run, earning funds for (hopefully) an in-person event in 2022 (after having to cancel for 2020 and 2021). I got an e-mail about it as I was an attendee in 2019 and on their mailing list.

I have enjoyed various teas most of my life, but have recently started exploring higher-end teas. Still, plain houjicha (loose-leaf or bagged) makes me feel like I’m in Japan.
