I bought some Puerh tea one time, but could not bring myself to try it. The very earthy aroma was a turn-off for me. Have you tried this tea? Thanks for all the great info.parTea ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-42806695602313332422008-07-15T09:01:00.000-04:002008-07-15T09:01:00.000-04:00Somehow, I missed the presence of this magazine.

One exception though, is the Pomegranate Green Tea from "Republic of Tea." When I open the metal cannister I am immediately struck with an intense, slightly exotic,sweet aroma! And then, of course, I have to stand there, sniffing it in great pleasure, for quite some time. And a cup brewed with one bag of that tea is a treat for the nose as well as the rest of me!Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-39629155729834582212008-07-15T17:24:00.000-04:002008-07-15T17:24:00.000-04:00Have you seen the August 2008 issue of Victorian H...Have you seen the August 2008 issue of Victorian Homes magazine? It is full of tea information - Top 10 Tea Rooms, Visit a Parisian Tea Salon, Favorite Tea Room Recipes, and the Final Words features A Welcome Spot of Tea. It's a fun issue!<br>NancyRosemaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-54587235967734225702008-07-15T23:46:00.000-04:002008-07-15T23:46:00.000-04:00ParTea Lady, I couldn't help smiling at your r...ParTea Lady, I couldn't help smiling at your review of the Puerh! Yes, I have tried it and did in fact like it (in moderation; not as an "everyday tea"), but I've since learned that a lot of people really detest this tea! They feel about it like *I* feel about Lapsang Souchong, which is like that horrid Creomulsion for Children medicine I used to take as a child. Shudder, shudder, shudder. Carol, you've got me adding that Pomegranate Green Tea to my wish list, and Steph, I think I will indeed try to be more mindful of the aroma of my teas! Nancy, you can bet I'll be at the local magazine stands tomorrow looking for Victorian Homes. Thanks so much for the alert!Angela McRaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13273293189684752811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-5055075922894716512008-07-16T10:10:00.000-04:002008-07-16T10:10:00.000-04:00Well, I'm glad I made you smile, Angela. Actu...Well, I'm glad I made you smile, Angela. Actually I think the Puerh smells like moldy dirt, but I thought earthy aroma sounded better. I introduced a friend to Lapsang Souchong tea and now it is her favorite. I have to agree with you about this tea - it's aroma is like fresh tar on the road. Earl Grey would get my vote for pleasing fragrance. <br><br>Thanks for giving us such enjoyable and informative posts to look forward to each day. Your readers comments are also delightful. I'll be looking for the tea and magazine they mentioned.parTea ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-45279454434109373932008-07-20T10:52:00.000-04:002008-07-20T10:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for your review on The Art of Tea Magazine....Thanks for your review on The Art of Tea Magazine. I have looked at it several times, but haven't bought it. I guess I will have to do that, as you made it sound appealing. Nancy mentioned Victorian Homes, which is also enjoyable. It was fun to see a couple of the top tea rooms on their list that carry Marmalady's jams and jellies.Marilynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.com
