a middle ground okay lukewarm whole leaf green tea…
i enjoyed a nice warm cup of this right before lunch, but after 3 sips i realized that this tea was sort of like bland cereal—it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. yes, that grassy flavor was there but it wasn’t really the I CANT STOP DRINKING THIS (in a good way) type of reaction i was hoping for.
not bad. but not good.
bland cereal tea.
at least it is fair trade
i have traveled all my life, but the one constant food/drink that has followed me around is tea. now that i am settling down in new york city (settling down meaning for a few years), i have an urge to somehow record and remember all the cups of tea and my thoughts around them.
as i have been lucky to try a diverse range of teas from around the world, my ratings are a bit tough… but they are honest. i always prefer loose leaf teas (as the leaf quality is better) and my favorite pure tea has to be green tea. i enjoy a good blend but it has to be creative!
here are my ranks:
1-10: why is this even labeled as tea?
11-20: okay, at least there is some effort
21-40: i would drink it if there was nothing else in my fridge
41-60: good but not holding my attention.
61-70: flavor and aroma are distracting me in a good way!
71-90: delicious! i come back for a second round
91-100: too good to read while drinking. addicting. like a secret that i want to keep or tell the world. that is how good this tea is!
