Hugo’s Full Steam leaves are dark chocolate brown, large and twisty….when steeped at 3 minutes 30 seconds, they release a deep lacquered fragrance of cannabis/rye (I mix those 2 notes up sometimes) and cocoa maltiness. The cup delivers the same. It is a stout Yunnan… almost Fujian in flavor profile, but because there is also a touch of molasses and toasted oat, it reminds me of Guinness in how it feels it can fill and warm my belly….something the people of Kansas City probably appreciate during their luxuriously long winter.
So here I celebrating my 3 day winter (I wish I was joking) by sitting in front of an open window with tea, book, blanket and whichever cat decides I look comfortable enough to join. I wait all year for these days….. and thanks to Teatiff I have a well-suited cup of tea to accompany me. Cheers!

Here in North Dakota we’ve had a VERY mild winter. Our first real snowfall didn’t come until Mid February!(probably the winter gods sent all the snow to the East Coast) and I don’t think we got below zero at all in January. I personally love winter, so I was disappointed. But now that it’s March I want spring, and we’re getting winter. Sigh.
….the weather is sooooo weird these days…..
