HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
This is a sipdown, but I see I had already taken it out of my cupboard. I am shocked to see that I bought this seven years ago. I would be ashamed of myself for not having finished it long ago, but for one thing.
This tea has aged magnificently.
The leaves are still a light, silvery green and covered in downy hairs. There is a bit of nutty flavor, but the fruity note has gone up two notches at least, and I am on the third steep.
I am trying to drink up my oldest teas and there are some I think I will just oackage up and send away, because they have hung around long enough that I know I don’t really want them. (I’m looking at YOU, grocery store impulse buys!)
This was so good, that instead of enjoying having a little extra space on my tea shelf, I looked to see if they still this so I could re-order. They don’t. That’s probably for the best.
I think Yunnan Sourcing has a Snow Dragon tea, though I don’t know if it’s similar.
I will take a look! Thanks!
