This curious little parcel inhabits the uncanny valley of the tea spectrum. It’s a huangpian, but it does not have the relaxing nature of 24K, being a punchier example of the style. However, it doesn’t quite have the full spectrum of nuances that a normal leaf tea would (hopefully) entail.
The result is a very fine drink that I have no idea when I would choose to reach for. 24K could be splwndid when wanting tea in a late session, as at least to me it’s very soothing and unlikely to keep me up. A tea as robust as Alter Ego would be better during the day – but it just doesn’t have the flair I want from my limited availability of full-on gongfu sessions.
I may try this Western (gasp!) as a work tea… but being a brick, it’ll require prep ahead of time, which doesn’t generally fit the nature of my work day tea sessions.
A fine brew… but a square peg to my proverbial round hole.
I promise never to refer to my round hole henceforth. My apologies.

This could be a tea that’s worth boiling or dropping in a thermos in your case. It takes a little tinkering to find the right leaf ratio, but holds up well through endured heat.
I was gonna suggest accompaniment to porn, but maybe you should send the rest to me.
Lol Cwyn. I didnt get the joke at first
