20 days since my last tasting note. I guess my life is too busy! I need to slow down and I need to take a little break from all the work stuff (even though I am home already), so I am writing this note.
Received from Amy, from tea swap elsewhere; and tea-mail is always a happy mail, so… decided to dig in, though I have so many other teas to drink / finish than opening single little packages.
But anyway, I have decided for this one. I recall seeing it when I was in Finland (oh, it was 6 years ago already. Or to be more precise 5 and half?). I don’t know why I haven’t tried it there, maybe the word “aged” scared me more than it should?
This is very fine EG with nice bergamot level when brewed. I did suggested steeping time (it was supposed to be 30 seconds shorter); and I got a very strong black tea base, quite robust IMO, and the bergamot level was just right with nice flavour and tends to be a bit more sour than I am used to. But it is fine and it was refreshing. And more importantly, it was natural and not artificial-flavouring like.
In conclusion: pretty much fine tea bag! I would kindly drink it if offered.
PS: I was waiting for today that Bruce Springsteen concert in Germany tickets were on sale from today. I already planned all the trip around Germany, booked the hotels and I feel that what should be planned in advance, that it is planned well. So, I have decided to buy the tickets, to find out it is indeed 15th July… but in 2023! I bought the tickets anyway, because the other dates aren’t that suitable. Yes, it was pricey, but I can’t wait already!

I am glad you have the trip and concert to look forward to! I hope it brightens these tough days!
Springsteen…there’s a trip back to the 80’s for ashmanra and me!
ashmanra: it’s something that I am indeed looking forward! The trip is just around the corner and concert? Fine, I will wait another year. Maybe it is indeed once in lifetime experience.
gmathis: well, it is a little uncommon that I listen to him, I know. I haven’t lived in his greatest fame era.
Good music is good music, regardless of era!
Fun note: new neighbors moved in behind us during Covid and we only met talking over the fence. They occasionally BLAST 80’s music, and I do mean BLAST, and for the longest time I called them Jack and Diane. Their names are very similar to that, but alas, not that. Ashman had to keep reminding me of their actual names but I still mentally call them that. Fortunately, I have not called them the wrong names to their faces!
