Finishing up this sample from Alphakitty. Yay for sipdowns!
The raspberry is nice and sweet/slightly tart (not artificial tasting – yay!), and the mouthfeel is creamy! The black base shines through in a subtle, smooth way and is slightly earthy. A nice dessert tea after lunch (cinnamon pancakes…my sister was nice and made some for me).
Enjoyed this – thanks again for sending this my way, Alphakitty!
Started brewing loose leaf tea about seven years ago. Excited to share my experiences and learn more from everyone on here!
I’ve found I Prefer:
Oolong Teas
White Teas
Green Teas
Black Teas
Flavored White Teas
Flavored Black Teas (depending on the base tea)
Flavored Oolong Teas
Pu-erh’s
Certain Herbals/Tisanes
I’ve found I Dislike:
Bitterness/Astringent Teas
Strong Floral Teas
Fruit Tisanes (at least hot)
Matcha and Rooibos teas tend to be hit or miss with me. I guess it depends on the tea and my mood.
That being said, I’ll give anything a shot!
When I’m not brewing/sipping tea, I’m usually reading, listening to music, working, or in the summer, kayaking/camping/hiking! I also enjoy a good movie now and then. I’ve got quite the collection going. It almost rivals my tea collection! ;)
I’ve only just returned after quite some time away – Steepster stopped working for me in 2013 and I FINALLY remembered this password and was able to get back on here in 2017. But I’ve been drinking tea all along the way!
Happy steeping!
