Oh man, yesterday started off so stressful that I completely forgot I drank an entire pot of this. Still a favourite of mine – I just can’t get over how delicious and intense the honey notes are.

I feel so lucky that I was able to get a good amount of this in a swap, but after brewing up a whole pot, I’m starting to turn a hoarding eye at this again. Even though I should not hoard teas, because I have way too much tea right now. But it’s so tasty and I will be sad when it’s gone for good.

Flavors: Honey

Preparation
3 tsp 21 OZ / 621 ML

I really love Bai Hao because of the honey notes, that might be a good substitute once you run out. :)

This tea sounds good but I don’t think it is available anymore, perhaps they will bring it back in the spring.

Cameron, I will have to check that out.

Allan: Sadly I think they discontinued this maybe two years ago? I only picked it up because it was in one of those clearance packets that are two for $5 – at the time I was much more into flavoured teas and didn’t really think much of straight whites, but I’m also a sucker for sales.

I didn’t even open it for ages, and then when I finally got around to it, it was wonderful and amazing.

I would love if they brought it back, though I have to wonder if a new harvest would taste the same.

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
