Steeped a teapot of this for the weekly Sunday Netflix binge. I added more chrysanthemum separately to supplement the lack of it in this ‘blend’. Had a heavy turkey dinner tonight (bought 2 turkeys on sale during the holidays so this was to use up the last one…lol). This was great to wash it down, including the dessert of vanilla mochi ice cream.
This is You :-D
Profile
Bio
finding myself in hot water again and again…
I grew up in a tea drinking culture, but my parents were seriously hung up on jasmine tea and oolong tea, so I never really had much exposure to other teas. My horizons expanded when I moved to Japan and discovered genmaicha (roasted rice tea aka popcorn tea). after that, I discovered black teas, red teas, and flavoured teas, how different teas could be by the region, processing methods, water used.
Now I can’t get enough of it!
I experiment with different teas, blending them sometimes to see what the outcome would be. I find my tastes to be quite diverse, but run away from the more floral side of things. Tie Kwan Yin is probably the only one that most people seem to enjoy, that I don’t. Otherwise I am game for most teas. Fruity? love it. Smoky? Mmm. Earthy? bring it on! Light and vegetal? keep pouring!

Ah I can’t wait to have space for a separate freezer so I can take more advantage of $0.99/lb turkeys around the holidays.
