Previously, on “Diary of a Northern Teaist…” – click here to read part 1 of this post…
In a recent post I wrote about the fantastic impression a free sample I received made upon me – I was so taken with the tea that I ordered a full sized batch of those leaves as soon as I was able to do so.
This was yet another tea that was included as a free sample in a recent order I placed over at House of Tea.
This was the other half of my early March order at House of Tea, both of which were Oolongs; one pretty – Wu Yi Bai Rui, and one unusual – this’un.
The restaurant’s own version of Masala Chai
This post began as a challenge from my womenfolk that came about during a visit to a new Indian restaurant in town.
I stared in open-mouthed disbelief – Mrs. Teaist was wide awake at 6:45 am. On a Sunday.
Sometimes a teahead will, for reasons they can never fully understand, get a craving for some leaves or other, and be left with an itch that they are going to have to scratch, whatever the cost, literally or figuratively.
Over the years I’ve grown accustomed to feeling somewhat nervous when Teaist Junior goes shopping “for just a few things…”
These leaves landed on my tea table after they were included as a free sample in my February order with House of Tea.
On the face of it this is a fairly ordinary shou, a good-but-not-great daily drinker.
