Here’s Hoping TTB

Tea boxes are such a great way to try new things without having to pay for them or commit to having them in your cupboard long-term! Based on past experience, I’ve decided I like Chinese green teas (which tend to be mild, smooth, and sweet) but don’t really care for Japanese green teas (which I’ve often found harsh, grassy, and bitter). But I decided to sample this one on a whim and was quite impressed! The flavor was definitely more assertive than most of the Chinese green teas I’ve tried, but not overly bitter or astringent. And the fresh grassiness seems rather perfect for this time of year. I would happily drink this again!

Bio

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
