Today I’m going to sipdown the samples that my cats chose for me AKA the sample bags they chewed on. Like all cats, my cats are terrible creatures…
I received a sample of this tea with my “The Meaning of Tea” DVD. The smell of the dry leaf really excited me. It was a nice balance of sweet and spicy smells. Smell is so connected to memory, and the smell of the brewed tea reminded me of being at my grandmother’s apartment and watching the movie Rebecca. Don’t ask me why!
This is a pretty yummy blend. It’s quite peppery, somewhat earthy, and would suit someone who doesn’t like too much sweet or cinnamon in their masala chai. This is making me want to try a masala chai puerh.
