Ok, so a verdict has been reached. I think I prefer the Taiwanese wild mountain black, and I can safely say I think I’ve given both teas a fair shake. For some reason, there’s a dryness (or at least that’s the only way I know how to describe it) to the PTA that I just don’t get from the mountain black. Then again, let’s be real here: how exactly do you choose anything over a straight black tea that still somehow tastes like waffles? so, although I’m glad I tried this, my bank account will be grateful that I don’t actually need to order both this and the mountain black. Oh, and I brewed the PTA for like six or seven minutes this morning, and used about 3 tsp for 12 oz of water. All I have left to do this weekend is continue playing with caramel vanilla assam and the maple pecan oolong, and I should be ready to place my next order!
In other news, I’m completely and utterly exhausted today at work. It’s only 9:00, and I could seriously just lie on my office floor and take a nap. I hope to whoever’s listening that this day passes quickly; I feel as though I need a weekend so desperately. When my alarm clock jarred me into consciousness this morning, I was seriously confused and wondered what all the racket was in the middle of the night, and then came the sinking realization that it wasn’t the middle of the night, and I had to haul my lazy butt out of bed. Ugggh.
I’m having a super sleepy day, too! :/
Ugh, tell me about it. And to top it all off I can’t consistently get my steepster fix because the site is being wonky today. A little more than four hours to go!
