Work – 2:00 PM
Ahh… Time for a relaxing afternoon cuppa.
The dry leaf smells divine. I’m rather partial to good white rice – especially the Japanese variety. It has such a lovely clean flavor, a great plump texture, and is wonderful with salted sesame seeds sprinkled over the top. Man, I really need to get back into making bento for lunch…
Wow, this tea… I don’t generally expect a lot from David’s Tea blends, but this is really outstanding. The oolong is mild, silky, and a touch grassy, with a thick mouthfeel and a light floral note. There’s a tiny touch of bitterness in the aftertaste. But that rice herb… It really does taste exactly like steamed rice. Combined with the sweet and creamy notes, it reminds me of a very lightly sweetened rice pudding.
Of course, David’s doesn’t seem to offer this one anymore. Luckily for me, I see that What-Cha also carries a sticky rice oolong. I’ll have to order some to try! ❤

Now I just have to try to wait to order until I drink up all of this tea… (eye twitches)
