I figured i’d better give this a shot since it’s out to at least Kittenna from the weekend and i haven’t even tried it yet. I can’t remember what prompted me to pick this one up when i was in sanfrancisco as i wasn’t even really sure about my tea preferences, but pick it, i did.
I must say that i guessed on the amount of tea to put in this one since i don’t have a scale (shush kittenna!). Whatever the case though, it’s turned out quite nice. This tea is unbelivably sweet, but not in an artificial way. It’s not a strong, bold black…instead there’s a fruity, breadiness? to the tea. There’s no bitterness. I’m not entirely sure how to describe this…in part because we’re having system issues at work again and i’m focused on that. I’m looking forward to a few additional steeps tonight when i get home though. I also really want to do this in a gaiwan when it comes because i think this will be a much more interesting experience that way.

I think Raritea grabbed some as well. Hopefully I will try mine soon – this is a high rating from you! :P
I did take some and now I’m more excited than ever to try it!
Bonnie – yeah i saw your tasting note. I couldn’t do this nearly the justice that you did heh.
I have some formosa you might like Sil, it’s a bit old but its yours if you want it!
Sil, I tend to blab on when I enjoy a good tea!
