I rather have the tea a few times before reviewing it, but sometimes, it is so good, i want to review it right now!

If it still tastes bad the second time, I might sweeten it if I think sugar or honey can save it. All else fails, it gets shipped away in a tea swap. At least less gets wasted in this way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825055425170299721.post-86432559798426390692011-02-02T17:30:27.654-05:002011-02-02T17:30:27.654-05:00I usually review right away because otherwise I kn...I usually review right away because otherwise I know my inner procrastinator will never get to it. I tend to drink and write in batches because of that. If I don't like a tea on the first try, I will usually retry until I get it right before I write my review.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676203430284854580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825055425170299721.post-12968746362034715012011-02-02T14:57:55.781-05:002011-02-02T14:57:55.781-05:00Interesting post.

If I try one at my office, I make sure to also have it at home, and vice versa. I try to pay attention to my mood, to make sure I taste it when I'm not feeling cranky, grumpy, etc. It is interesting to compare my notes to see if my feelings about the tea change depending on day and location. If I am writing about a tea that I tried at a restaurant or cafe, I will definitely note that it is the first and only time I've tried it.Sara Shackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443916832400751717noreply@blogger.com
