you read it right fanfic thread peeps! my third fic tea and ‘work in progress’.
i’m getting better at predicting blends, because this one is pretty tasty! how it came out isn’t exactly how i envisioned it tasting, but it’s close. close enough to be happy with it.
and seeing how the ratio of teas and additions i chose taste together can still teach me about future blending choices. (the more teas from adagio i get to taste the easier it is, because some teas are DUH just more potent in flavor than others.)
for me, its about figuring out the flavors in the right levels but also then considering how the tea smells dry and how the tea looks.
ikr i don’t think i would have ever considered that i’d care how a blend i make looks. but i do. and now in hindsight it’s no surprise, because i WAS an art major after all.
anyways, i know how i’m gonna try adjusting the next version of this blend. and then it might take 1 more after that before i settle on the recipe. but don’t worry! i’m keeping extensive and awesome notes!
The whole process sounds so neat. :) I’d be super into this if I had a post box in the States I could get to regularly!
OMG yes! I love that you are making your own blends. Lemme know when they’re not WIP. :P
