I had this tea this morning…trying to remember which bag this came from, who the sample was from. Eeek. I didn’t put it away afterward…I left it out to remind me to write a note. So, I think this is from OMGsrlsy.

I love pu erhs, especially in combination with sweet things. Cinnamon is a nice enhancer for such a war and earthy tea. The fact that this tea has pu erh with golden yunnan buds for that bread/malty/grainy feel, I feel the blend really does justice to this tea.

It’s just a delicious combination, and I can see why this one is so popular. I intially thought it was a bit like Almond Indulgence, fro Butiki, but this is richer because of the pu erh in the base, and I think it is unfair to compare one to the other, even though they share some characteristics.

I’m very grateful for the sample. It’s really yummy, and is a great morning tea.

This one is amazing! I split an order of it with Sil. Maybe that’s where OMGsrsly got it from? I don’t think I sent you the last of mine, but who knows… Swap swap away!

This one re-steeps really well too.

I generally like a lot of tea. I do find I have a preference for flavored over unflavoured, but I do love a good straight tea as well.

Likes are too hard, since there are a lot. Dislikes are easier, so here they are…

Hibiscus. Blech. I can tolerate a little, depending on the brew, like Berry Good from Davids and Ruby Pie from Butiki…but in general, it’s too tart and too strong for me.

Licorice. Anything that remotely resembles licorice is out too, so that includes fennel and anise. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Florals. I’m cool with petals in the tea to make them look pretty (except rose), and I’m cool with teas like oolongs having a floral note, but strong florals can give me migraines. Rose and jasmine are the biggest offenders. This is one where it can vary on the blend, as I can handle Teavivre’s Peach Jasmine Dragon Pearl tea because there is very little jasmine actually detectable in it.

Rooibos is hit or miss. I can do some, but not others. I handle green better than red, and honeybush better than rooibos.

My ratings don’t have a particular scale or method, and may on occasion contradict themselves, but I’m honestly not fussed about that. Sometimes I don’t even rate at all.

Um, I have an extensive wishlist. It is both a list of things I want to get again, and things I want to try. If you are sending me something, and you want to know which is which, I’ll tell you via PM.

Yes, I do trades…usually on request though. See something you want to try in my cupboard? Just shoot me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

Uh, guess that’s it.
