While sick on Saturday I remembered that I still had some of this sample left. I threw the rest of it (a 10 gram chunk of roasted orange, oolong and herbs caked together) into my kyusu and steeped this all weekend, including Monday when I stayed home sick. The chunk wasn’t even falling apart and still had flavor after all that so I brought it to work Tuesday. I’ve been grandpa-ing it for the past two days. That is 5 days of steeping so far.

No joke, this tea is a beast when it comes to longevity, it’s soothing, and it’s got a distinct taste without being overwhelmingly medicinal. I am seriously considering buying a full orange since it’s pretty well priced and can be resteeped so many times.

I like tea, mostly unflavored. I drink all tea, with a preference for teas from China, Japan and Taiwan, with some exceptions.

I don’t rate until I have had a tea several times unless it makes a very strong, immediate impact.
