  • “…and this lovely, finished! Made a giant, hearty milk and sugared mug for homework doings. Stout but a little mellowed by time. Just tasting a hint of raisiny stone fruit flavors. I think this tea...” Read full tasting note
  • “For me, this tea is fresh bread. The kind of bread that is dense, hints of yeasty, is almost sticky in the middle and has little bits of chopped nuts and seeds in it? Yeah, that kind of bread. ...” Read full tasting note

From Golden Moon Tea

Combining ultra-premium estate teas, this blend far exceeds the typical Irish Breakfast. Beautiful golden tips highlighted against deep black leaves. The robust flavor is equally elegant and complex. Rich and malty character, with subtle notes of ripe cherries, dark prunes, and hints of hazelnuts and honey. Full bodied, dark in the cup, and further enhanced with a touch of milk or cream. A connoisseur’s breakfast tea.

sample. thought it was fine, but didn’t adore. i’m not a huge fan of straight up black teas though.

Maybe it’s the unexpected snow day (complete with yesterday’s late night Criterion fest, this morning’s sleeping in and making out and cuddling bewildered-by-snow cats, and the promise of beef stew with collard gratin and cheese biscuits for supper tonight) and the fact this is my favorite week in the Catholic calendar (up next: pancakes and ashes), but I’m in good spirits today and I’m guessing that’s making this cup even more delicious. Perfect. It’s great at a low maintenance boil, smooth and satisfying, but at this lower temp it’s even silkier and more divine. Yum.

I want an unexpected snow day! well, I don’t actually, but I want to be abel to stay home when it’s frigid out and there’s tea to be had!

ifjuly

it’s one of the few winter perks to living in the south—we almost never get any real wintery weather, so when we do we get to live it up because the whole town shuts down. and it never sticks so there’s no shoveling or tire chains or REAL worry to go with the lovely snowy mood. on the other hand, we suffer 105F summers that last 9 or 10 months. sooo. ha.

A Criterion fest! Some of my favorite movies!

I drank this today, which is wild! What’d ya watch last night?

husband got to pick since it’s his precious snow day (: his snow day turned into 3 days!! he’s watched seconds, insignificance, antichrist, and tv-wise the beginning of enlightened. such couch potatoes!

i’ve been drinking this one every day with him in the morning—we never get to have breakfast tea together because he has to be out the door by 6am and that is just way too early for me to be fussing with that, ha. it’s been a great way to start all of this week’s so far unbelievably lazy days.

I must be a couch potato, too, because that sounds like an awesome day. I also picked this tea out for a similar reason. I wanted something robust to start the day, and I was up early enough without having to go anywhere to want a breakfasty tea.

Rich and malty it certainly is. I think I have just found my new breakfast tea.

Best Irish Breakfast I’ve had. Full of fruit and no tannin. Strong, but not overwhelming.

Brewed 3 min. 1 Tsp raw sugar. Hot.
It’s malty… But I wouldn’t categorize this as strong. The other Irish Blends I’ve had have made me not want to finish the cup because of their strength. So this one seem light, sweet and pleasant to me.
It is a very nice tea but this isn’t what I thought I’d be getting because I didn’t want to put the cup down.
Perhaps if you use the maximum steep time the strength will develop.
It is complex though. The fruit flavors come out in a very nice way.
