1 sachet for 250mL water @90C, steeped four minutes.

Liquor: lightest gold.
Aroma: classic floran ti kuan yin notes with some appealing sharpness
Taste: the ti kuan yin of my dreams.

A dear friend brought me this from her recent trip to England. 1837 TWG Tea is new to me. The tea sahcets are cotton (!) and large enough to give the gorgeous leaves room to expand.

My entire office smells like orchids.

This is an excellent ti kuan yin. I look forward to re-steeping it.

Second steep is less floral but sweeter, with a creamier mouthfeel.

I prefer straight teas but will try almost anything … so long as it’s not tainted with hibiscus. I loathe hibiscus.

Floral oolong and complex black teas are my favourites.
