One of the “Meet the Farmer” teas at Verdent in their $5 for 5 (5g) tea special. This is a lovely little Wuyi, I brewed it in a 100ml pot, but probably would go bigger next time. Seemed to like short steeps which helps keep the astringency at bay, but more sensitive to temp than I’d expect. If you nail it, it delivers, but if not, it’s solid.

A delightful black tea for folks who may not traditionally love black tea. The tannins here are tame and make way for lovely fruity notes with honey and cream. I really enjoyed this one.

a phenomenal aged oolong, very flavorful and with strong chi. Amazingly forgiving in the brewing, an instant favorite.

Not a fine tea in any stretch of the imagination, but it has a specific flavor I was craving.

My Morning Cup O’ Joe

Bought this for the kids as I generally prefer black chai, but it sounded good and I was in the mood for Chai.

This is my cup of joe every morning. It hits the right ‘morning pick-me-up’ note and is a pleasant tea. It’s one of the only commercial teas I drink.
