I’ve gotten a little bit spoiled by some other Wuyi oolongs I have tasted recently. And although this is still a very nice tea, it doesn’t “wow” me anymore. I still feel appreciation and gratitude for this tea, though!
This tea does have some sweet cinnamon spiciness, caramel, and subtle fruitiness. Pretty good for my first tea of the day!
EDIT: I liked this tea more and more as I steeped it further, so I’ve bumped up my rating.
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
