Yunnan Golden Pu Erh in my cup and it will be all day. I forgot to set up my tea pot last night so just drinking my tea at work.

"Organic Chinese high mountain oolong".

I'm pretty sure that "Chinese" and "oolong" are true...

Tea #2 of that Tea Haus order. This one is "Tea Haus Breakfast Blend"

Quote:

Our own breakfast blend made of teas from the Assam region in India, Chinese black tea and Ceylon Orange Pekoe. Full bodied tea that takes milk well. Great pick me up in the morning.

Meh. It's black, it's a breakfast blend, but it's not doing anything for me. Not enough astringency or character, and a kind of odd nose. I wouldn't complain if someone served it to me, but I won't be buying any more. I expect my breakfast blends to have a bit more going on.

Last tea of the day.

Darjeeling

We are preparing to go on vacation. we are headed to visit my Husbands family. Luckily enough his Dad is well enough that the hospital is allowing him to go home for a few weeks before they start the next phase of treatment so we will be able to go to their home and not the hospital.

Last night my Husband told me that Little Man has already decided on our next vacation location. Keep in mind that Little Man is 4. Jus turned 4 two months ago. Little Man has decided that we should go to Australia.

I love my Little Man. We told him that our next vacation was likely to be New York or California to see family but that we might go to Australia when he is older and can do a bit more. He was actually disappointed.

I had 2 cans of something called Dragon. High Caffeine Content. It's high in sugar, but I don't feel the caffeine rush.

#3 of that Tea Haus order, classic English Breakfast Blend.

Quote:

The classic morning cup of tea. What makes this so popular is the perfect balance of a malty Assam tea and a strong Kenyan tea. Takes milk and sugar very well but tastes lovely on its own.

[brewed at 205F for 3 minutes]

Not bad. Not bad at all. The leaves are less broken that some English Breakfast Blends I've had, the nose is typical, rather malty, but with some astringency. The mouth is full and a bit "bitty", but not so much that it needs milk. The liquor is a bit lighter in colour than some, but the taste is full bodied. A definite morning blend.
