I’ve been struck down by an assault of sleepy all of a sudden. I think it’s the long walk and then just lying around watching tv for hours. The crownprincess was very pretty (although the danish princesses, of course, are just a little bit prettier)
So I thought, I should have something to perk me up a bit. I was rifeling through the sample basket to see what I had and came upon the other half of this one. Ginseng! How utterly suitable does that sound?
I seem to recall it wasn’t my intention back when I had the first half of the sample, but right now I’m wondering if I should order it. I did give it nearly 80 points, after all, and if it can perk me up now, it should definitely be worth owning. Maybe.
Well, I wasn’t paying attention so it got a really long steep. Not even the slightest hint of bitterness, astringency or harshness. Nothing. Not even close. It tastes like I would imagine it was supposed to. Now I rather wish I could have tried it with the entire sample at once instead, because I think it would really benefit from a stronger brew.
With getting rid of a couple of undrinkable things this morning I am now allowed to place my order with Nothing But Tea (although I may wait until after the 1st), and it’s not impossible that I would have included some of this if it hadn’t been for the annoying fact that it’s out of stock! I haven’t the foggiest whether it’s going to disappear or if they’re going to restock.
I think it’s one to keep an eye on, either from this or from another company. Except Chaplon because I don’t want fertiliser. See my other post on this tea for an explanation on that one.
