multipurposegoddessSo, one of the things I did while I was in Portland was order about two pounds of tea. It seemed like a reasonable thing to do at the time. No, I can explain further than that: my sister frequents this tea emporium Jasmine Pearl and I mentioned that I wanted to taste and purchase some loose leaf teas because I didn't have any, so we were going to visit the shop and do that. But they were closed the entire time I was there, an employee retreat or something. But there's a restaurant, Jade Bistro Teahouse & Patisserie, that carries many of their teas, so we went there for dinner and everyone obligingly got different pots of tea so I could try a variety. And my sister had a cupboard full, of which I tried a few. Of course, I liked everything I tried. I didn't buy EVERYTHING I tried, but a couple of black, a couple of green, a couple herbal, 4 oz each, it adds up fast. And then there were a couple of things I wanted to get 2 oz of to see if I liked them, that Jade hadn't had but which sounded really appealing (notably the GABA Green which sounds crazy so of course I must try it).
The shipment came today and is a small box for how much money it cost, but my Tea Management App tells me it's make nearly 300 cups of tea, which makes it seem like more of a bargain. And they threw in two samples - Bombay Breakfast (which sounds delightful, all the spices I like plus rose) and Licorice Green, which I am trying right now. My first thought with anything licorice is "do I like licorice? I don't think I do", but it's actually quite nice and refreshing. Not so nice that I must have more of it, but I do like it as a summer tea. I bet it would ice up well.
