Tea
Switching back to tea has been interesting. I've been branching out and trying lots of different teas, mainly from Peets:
 | Assam Golden Tip - I found this one a bit too heavy and too malty. It would probably be ok if I added milk, but I don't. I also don't like to add sugar or honey if I don't have to. |
 | Darjeelin Extra Fancy Kalimpng - This one is really strong but good. Definitely a black tea that is still palatable without milk or sugar. |
 | Earl Grey with Bergamont - Peets has a really nice Earl Grey. It's got a solid flavor and the Bergamont, which gives it that Lemon Pledge smell is not overpowering. It makes a nice cup of tea which doesn't knock your socks off. |
 | Earl Grey with Lavender - This one is a really interesting take on Earl Grey. It shows just how much the blend is important to Earl Grey. The Lavender really stands out in both taste and smell. It's a nice change from the Bergamont. It's a little fresher and more pungent. |
 | English Breakfast - This is a very strong tea. The Peets version is pretty standard and unremarkable. |
 | Golden Dragon Oolong - This is my favorite of all of the teas. Which is unfortunate because it is very expensive. It has a very delicate flavor which stands out well without adding anything to the mix. |
