It's a beautiful morning and I was in a mood to try something "springy". I decided to go for "Golden Spring" from the Black Savant Sampler. The smell of the tea was strong black tea smell with a tone of orange. And I liked the color of the tea leaves. They were black and orange-yellow. As Adagio says, it's a mixture of dried and infused leaves (whatever that might mean).
One thing I like about Adagio teas is that each box has a sign with a temperature and the time of preparing the tea. Most of the teas need 180F or 82C water, but the "Golden Spring" required 212F or 100C. Such hot water made the taste stronger. It turned out to be very awakening and invigorating. Just what you need on a Spring morning.
Also, I'd like to share with you one secret. I found another nice place, where you can buy high quality loose tea in a big variety. That is a nice tea stand in Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market. The Market, generally, is great! There is such a selection of fresh cheeses, meats, fish, flowers, coffee and tea. And of course, you can't resist the famous Philly Cheese Steak. Not very healthy, but yum!
Well, I'll get back to enjoying my Golden Spring tea and morning.
