drank Spiced Plum by Harney & Sons
1501 tasting notes

Funny, I didn’t even put this in my cupboard.. I knew it would be outside my interest. Ah well. I tried it, and then dumped it. Why? It brewed up a purple-ish color, and then went blood-red almost immediately — never a good sign for me. Honestly? It tasted like spiced blood, and that’s something I find unappealing.

Regardless, my colleague Helen in Australia sent this along, and I am really grateful for all the great teas she gave me the opportunity to try.

Spice blood, hey? I guess it is safe to say you are not a vampire.

Agreed! It would do well for a blood color though.. made me think of painting.

Spiced blood?! I can’t imagine what that would taste like. I’m not sure I want to..

Hibiscus always tastes rather bloody to me. Rosehip as well to some degree.

Sounds vile. I am guessing this one contained hibiscus?

Bio

A few years ago, the obsession with tea started. The cupboard got bigger and bigger, more swaps occurred, group buys, secret rendezvous with local teapassionistas… and that’s how you end up with 500+ different kinds of tea in your home. At one time.

Almost all of the tea was given away, sold, or otherwise shared. A few relics still remain. I now travel full time with only two carryon bags to my name. One quarter of those bags are tea.

It’s still a challenge to avoid the chipmunk-like hoarding of The Teas, yet, the lightness of being from having so little compels me more.

If I have enough, I’m happy to share. If I’m in your area, I’d love to swap, meet for tea, and explore together.

As for the day-to-day stuff, I’m focused almost entirely on Love, (yes, with a capital L), Spirit/Self, transformation, travel and my writing and speaking work.

What kinds of teas do I normally like?

YES: flavored teas, fruity, dessert, chai, and spicy (REALLY spicy).

A FONDNESS FOR: all white teas, malty black teas, any herbal or medicinal teas, strange/weird teas you can only get in one place.

ALLERGIC TO: strawberries, lavender

DISLIKES: any added sugars, grains, lapsang souchong, and overly floral teas – I might enjoy a Jasmine Green every once in a while, but unless it’s a creamy floral tea (think roses in a chai, or the smoothness of a floral note in a French tea), I’ll likely pass. Earl Greys are a hit or miss with me; heavy on the cream or fruit notes and I might like it, heavy on the blergamot and I definitely won’t.
