I needed the savory today! Satisfied. Now onto something a little more vegetal.

I would have to say this is in my top 3 favorite teas. I think it has great qi and makes my cheeks pink when I have it first thing in the morning. It is probably my favorite tea to have first thing in the morning. When I taste it I can see the leaf bud on the plant taking in the dew of spring. I really like the sweetness this tea offers. It is high in amino acids and low in catechins which is why it has such nice sweetness. The sweetness of amino acids to me in synonymous with the fresh taste of spring.

I use more than the recommended amount and higher temperature. I like to get a rich mouthfeel and extract all of the goodness from the leaf. I let it infuse until I have a deep yellow infusion. (Over night cold brew is also delicious!)

Just opened a new bag, so smooth.

I just made it and it is super fruity!

I am still feeling a little under the weather, so I brewed two SUPER STRONG pots of this and I am no longer coughing. On my way to recovery! Sweet and spicy and full of beneficial herbs. I brewed two heaping tablespoons (for 13.5 oz) for about 10 minutes.

Complex and unusual. I prepared in a guywan about 1/3 full. The aroma brings you in, the initial taste is light and fruity and the back of your mouth tastes deep and rich floral notes. Hoppy is right on point. New favorite.
