Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge – A Favorite Tea

And it is a sipdown. A sad one because I can’t replace it, but someday when the cupboard is smaller I will try one from another company and see how it stands up to comparison with this one.

There was such a tiny amount of leaf and the most of the dried flower bits I have seen, but it was three steeps of delight. Amber gold in color, rich and full bodied, with floral taste that is not sweet and cloying, just beautiful.

Enjoyed in a sunny spot with Kuhflecken candy bar. Ahhhhhh.

Aww, sorry for your sad sipdown. I do remember enjoying Teavivre’s osmanthus oolong though.

I wish I’d been able to try this. However, I just got an Alishan Osmanthus from Wang, which I hope will be similar.

I bet Teavivre’s will be as good! I hope so….

I was sad this oolong-focused tea company didn’t make it. Their tiny brick and mortar location was in central but extremely competitive spot in Vancouver :(

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
