drank Jasmine Dragon Pearls by Capital Tea Ltd.
987 tasting notes

Nothing much to report this morning. This is still my favourite jasmine dragon pearl so far. Jasmine, sweet, with a hint of other floral notes. I used to think it smelled/tasted like orange blossom, but now I believe it’s honeysuckle. Just needed something tried and true to mentally prepare for yet another interview this morning. Leaving the house in about 45 mins.

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys! Got back just now and my god, the weather outside was hellish. The interview itself went okay – the recruiter told me that I didn’t have the level of experience the employer was looking for, but that they would keep me on file for future opportunities.

Bio

Updated March 2016:

I’m a writer and editor who’s fallen in love with loose-leaf tea. I’ve also set up a site for tea reviews at http://www.booksandtea.ca – an excellent excuse to keep on buying and trying new blends. There will always be more to discover!

In the meantime, since joining Steepster in January 2014, I’ve gotten a pretty good handle on my likes and dislikes

Likes: Raw/Sheng pu’erh, sobacha, fruit flavours, masala chais, jasmine, mint, citrus, ginger, Ceylons, Chinese blacks, rooibos.

Dislikes (or at least generally disinclined towards): Hibiscus, rosehip, chamomile, licorice, lavender, really vegetal green teas, shu/ripe pu’erh.

Things I generally decide on a case-by-case basis: Oolong, white teas.

Still need to do my research on: matcha

I rarely score teas anymore, but if I do, here’s the system I follow:

100-85: A winner!
84-70: Pretty good. This is a nice, everyday kind of tea.
69-60: Decent, but not up to snuff.
59-50: Not great. Better treated as an experiment.
49-0: I didn’t like this, and I’m going to avoid it in the future. Blech.
