I received this in a swap from MzPriss Thank you!
Wow. This smells like the chocolate chip cookies that I have been craving. This has definate notes of coco and bread. There is also a tang at the end of the sip. I think the next cup I will steep a bit less because I also get a slight astringency. Whispering Pines wasn’t really on my radar, but MzPriss gave me a proper introduction.. Thank you!
I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
