Brahmin’s Choice

October 19, 2010

Brahmin’s Choice from Steven Smith Teamaker! So glad to see my favorite tea for sale here in Vancouver.

Organic Goomtee

March 1, 2009

On Saturday afternoon I tasted Organic Goomtee 2nd Flush 2008, from Aura Teas. It was darker, more earthy than the very delicate TeaLogic Darjeeling Goomtee I’d had a few days before.

Tea Tea Tea – always a surprise!

February 18, 2009

I’ve been tasting some amazing teas lately, thanks to the Co-op Tea Swap. Every couple of weeks, new loose tea arrives at my mail box. Mango Rooibos from Adagio Tea – sweet and uplifting. Darjeeling Goomtee 2nd Flush from TeaLogic – deliciously refined, perfect with milk and sugar. And when it steeped too long, I [...]
