Vallhallow your teas have come in very handy on this trip! This one was perfect for this morning because I’ve been craving a good green. Greece seems to be like the US as far as the tea scene goes. Though we have happened upon a few jems that I will add later. Thus hotel chain offers Lipton. Which, no offense to those who like it, but I will not touch. So I brought my own bag to breakfast, this one, and asked for hot water. Ah, that grassy aroma. The wet leaf definitely has that usual Japanese grassiness but also a asparagus. The appearance is more akin to a ctc tea. Though the cut leaves are bigger then bright other tea bags whichi believe makes for a better steep. It is green. A beautiful green. Flavor is Grassy. First steep is grassy. Smooth. Slight asparagus. On second steep. Slight vegetal with mixed cooked, stir fry peppers with green being heavier. Bright. Slight astringency.

When I was a child, Lipton was Ceylon Orange Pekoe. It was all my mother would use for iced tea, but she was delighted when it started coming as teabags around here. I have a Lipton 1924 brass commemorative tin from the London Expo! To be honest, it looks distressingly like an urn. Two of my kids thought it was the first time they saw it!

That would be surprising to expect ashes and then have a tea bag pulled out >.<

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
