First, an announcement. In the next couple of days I'll be putting up a pretty special post. On Tuesday I had the opportunity to visit with Peter Hewitt, the Founder and CEO of Tea Forte. (Actually, it's Tea Forté, but I'm going to forgo the accent mark since it wreaks havoc with some of the feed software...) We talked a bit about the company's history, his background, and their products. So, stay tuned.
Second, I am aware that I have fallen a bit behind in updating the drop down lists on the blog home page. By the end of today I expect to have them all up to date so you can easily locate reviews by particular companies.
Finally, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you to all of my readers for your interest and support. Tea Pages has become an extremely part of my life and has opened up doors to new opportunities. You all have kept me motivated and inspired me to work harder each day. Please continue to communicate with me about what you'd like to see in our pages. The goal of this blog was to help make tea more accessible and less intimidating. It was to encourage you all to try new things and to learn more about tea's culture and history. It was to give me the space to study tea in a new way and to share information with people who have a similar interest. Thank you for being part of this experience and I look forward to continuing for a long time to come.
Now, back to the tea review.
Organic Silver Needle - Aura TeasThis is an absolutely gorgeous tea. The leaf is full and simply stunning with downy fur. It is a tea that you can't keep your hands off. The scent was light, fresh, and lemony.
The liquor brewed to a lovely pale gold with a scent of plums and peaches.
The flavor was very, very subtle. It was lighter than I had anticipated, but then a long, long sweet aftertaste emerged. Heaven. This tea simply felt calming. Because the taste slowly emerges and develops, it forces you to slow down and be attentive. You must live in the moment with this tea and you'll be glad you did.
