Advent Day 13… and it’s a Friday!!!
Happy Friday the 13th! I have no idea who Ruby Granger is, the collaborator for this tea. I had to look on the B&B website to find out she is an influencer on tiktok and youtube. I’m trying really hard to stay off social media because my feed is overwhelmingly negative and it sucks time away before I realize an hour has gone by.
While sniffing this tea I keep trying to find malty notes. I don’t know why my brain wants to go there, but I’m not finding it. I get a hint of creamy coconut and something that makes me think mellow warmth, something cozy. Is this what a warm library smells like? Is this what aging books smell like? Something like chocolate in the scent, but not quite. When sipping I can pick up a tiny bit of the roasty hojicha. It’s very mild. Maybe the tiniest bit of malt at the back of the sip with that aging flavor in the finish. Some sips have a ghostly showing of coconut rounding any edges. It’s funny how much the name is making me try to connect the flavors to an old library. This is a tea I’m having to concentrate on. If I didn’t I think I’d just mindlessly sip it because it is so subtle and there is nothing trying to jump out and grab your attention. It’s a fun experience, but I’m left pondering how I feel about the tea.
Hmm not sure I understand coconut for a library tea ha ha…
The name is sure lovely and evocative!
Library teas should have something old and a little rusty. Keemun or puerh.
The coconut is very light. It gives it a little bit of creaminess without standing out much on it’s own.
A puerh would be perfect for a library blend! Good call!
Librarian here! We have a historic collection that has a strong “old paper” smell that I really enjoy, but I think it would be hard to recreate… I think my brain is thinking those highly mineral oolongs that have that sort of wet rock aroma? Or a petrichor-leaning puerh could work too, ya.
