I simply have to start this off by saying that this tea is awesome! I know I say that about most of the teas I drink, but this one was ESPECIALLY GREAT!! I received a sample of this tea along with my tea thermos from Mandala Tea. When I smelled the dry leaves, my first reaction was “Dried apricots!”. I brewed this up in my tea thermos, and drank it on my way to work (about 30 minutes of sipping). It tasted slightly woodsy (maybe nutty) and fruity (apricots, I think). This tea didn’t get the slightest hint of bitterness, and it retained its sweetness for the entire length of this long steep. Most of the green teas that I have made in my tea thermos are incredibly bitter for the first steep, then become less bitter in the following brews. This tea was amazing from the get go! I made 3 thermos-fulls and they were all as tasty as the last. I think that this tea shall be my go-to tea for my thermos!

I try to only drink awesome stuff, but there are some losers that sneak in. They usually are dumped out pretty quickly.

I guess I’ve just been lucky so far. It’s going to be a sad day when I rate a tea below 80 :’(

Clint! So happy you are enjoying the sample. When I saw you were getting a thermos, I wanted to get you a tea that I think is great brewed “grandpa style”. It’s a winner, for sure. Thanks for writing this up! I am grateful.

Pretty new to the tea game. I truly love exploring new teas and learning more about this amazing drink. I haven’t had a tea that I did not enjoy yet. However, flavored and blended teas are my least favorite.

Random facts: I live in Long Beach, CA with my girlfriend. She does not enjoy tea very much, except for certain fruity blends. We have 2 pet rabbits who rule our household (Salt and Pepper). I love to cook, hike, and explore the outdoors.
