I am enjoying this tea this afternoon. It came as one of my selections with the YS dark tea club selection.

Probably not one I would have ordered myself, but it’s interesting the lighter roast means the tea color brews up pretty light and it has that lovely, mineraly flavor. Some floral with a bit of a bittersweet note in the finish. I think I’ll need to try steeping this Western style instead of the gong fu method I did this afternoon. It is nice but I’m not getting a ton of flavor from it.

Preparation
