Thank Stephanie for the sample! Have I ever mentioned that you have really nice handwriting?

I pulled this out of the sample bag this morning, and really enjoyed it. I had more than enough for one steep (I steep 11 oz at a time) but not quite enough for two, so I put it all in there and steeped for less time. Really delicious. I think I can get a third steep out of it as well.

I drink so many similar black teas that I’m running out of unique things to say about them, but I really liked this and would reorder if I saw it on sale. I have too much tea otherwise, especially since I just bought 400g of tea from Teavivre’s sale this morning.

Steph we will be at that same place tomorrow if you want me to bring samples of anything for you.

what’d you get at the sale? I’m debating…. I just got a bunch of Dian Hong Gold Tips and forgot to buy my favorite keemun!

Bailin Gongfu Black Tea 100g (in tin)
Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea Full-leaf 100g (no tin available – sad face)

I’ve never had their “Full-leaf” dian hong but I adore the “Gold Tips” version. :) I ordered a sample of the Dan Cong oolong too, it sounded interesting!

i didn’t even know they had in-tin!

It wasn’t much more expensive to get the tins, I just wish all four had had them.

Bio

Mom of two practically grown girls, extremely happily married to a man who is amused by my obsession with tea, and company owner who works from home. Life is good.

Likes/dislikes: I love black teas, especially strong/malty ones. I am ok with flavored teas if the base is strong. I like some whites. I really don’t like any tea that tastes “green” – if I wanted to drink something that tastes like green beans, I would cook some green beans. I am not big on green teas or genmaichas. I am learning to like puerhs.

If we are trading, I have a STRONG aversion to coconut, banana and licorice. I love citrus, vanilla and spice. Not a fan of florals.
