When I was a kid, I went to England on a school exchange. My first morning there, my host mother asked if I wanted to try some real British Tea. I said "sure, what kind?" She just stared at me like she couldn't parse what I'd said. "What....kind?? There's....only one kind of tea." It was some disappointing generic green stuff, I don't remember what brand. That's my British Tea story.
Anyway, I recently tried some buckwheat and gyoji berry tea that was really good.

I was given a sampler of like 30 different teas for Christmas. Today I tried something called Honey Orchid Aroma. It was a pleasant black tea. Yesterday I tried Edgar Allan Poe blend, which is black tea with beetroot, giving it a blood-red color and earthy flavor. I'm not fond of beets, so I did not enjoy it, but it was at least a unique form of unpleasant.

Today's tea is called True Creme Golden Buds Oolong. Trip report:
- strange smell, almost like rice crispies
- not sure how much to use, just eyeballing it
- gave it a short steep, only 3 min
- if tea were a custard, this is what it would taste like
- woke up in my car with the motor running in a Hobby Lobby parking lot
Not something I would drink every day, but would recommend.

Brewing up some late night Song Imperial Court oolong.
It's ok with a touch of honey. It neither inspires singing, or tastes like jury duty.

Today's tea is Republic of Tea's Mandalorian brand Mysterious Black Tea: this is not the way.
With condensed milk over ice: this is the way.

Tonights tea is Taylors strawberry vanilla green. It has a very strong artificial small, but the flavor is subtle. Better than I expected.

Tonight I am drinking Dragon's Treasure brand Gingerbread tea. I like gingerbread, but this tastes like black tea with molasses. If gingerbread houses have toilets, this is what the contents would taste like. Maybe it would be better if I put royal icing around the lip of my mug.

Today's tea is not labeled, like at all. I'm not even sure this tea, it might just be random floor cruft. Tastes ok. I have some dried mushrooms I could toss in to make cup-a-soup.

I did a tea and chocolate tasting today that was kinda fun. We ordered a tasting kit and there was a webinar explaining all the stuff. We screwed up the pairings because it wasn't clear which chocolates were which, but it's chocolate so how wrong can you be? The teas included some white berry flavored tea, a jasmine, a herbal, a puer, a black tea, and either an oolong or darjeerling, I forget.

Got myself some puer that comes in a compressed little puck. Tea is very dark like coffee. looks and tastes like dirt water, but with a pleasant caramel aftertaste.

I am visiting family and the water up here is funny tasting and it makes my tea very funny tasting
No one said you have to use water to make tea. Try hot milk, or hot apple cider, or hot maple syrup, or hot gin.

I finally got a hold of some Loyd cherry, cocoa & chili tea. I was expecting it to be spicy, but it was really just nicely aromatic.

I'm drinking my way through a halloween-themed variety pack of Adagio brand tea that someone gave me as a gift. It has bits of orange and white confetti in it. I can't taste the confetti, but the tea isn't bad.

Well, there's more to the ceremony, yeah. But that's a lot of equipment.
You need the proper matcha if your human sacrifice is to be accepted.
I'm enjoying the buckwheat tea I got for christmas.

My mother went to a tea convention in Kansas City and sent me a bunch of different teas from Taiwan, Nepal, and France. There were also Mississippi teas (not a euphemism), but I did not get any of those.

Tonight I am drinking Nepal Tea's Buddha's Potion, a white tea with spices. It's nicely aromatic, but the flavors are a bit too subtle for me. It's...fine. I neither desire this tea nor suffer because of it.

Tonight is Nepali black tea with black pepper, ginger, black cardamom, and cinnamon leaf. Tastes like black tea. I'm kind of underwhelmed. With those ingredients, I was expecting mouthgasms. It's not bad for black tea though.
