Sipdown!
I didn’t want to hoard this tea for the next four years, waiting for it to come back. Ashman was enjoying it so much that I am determined to find a good breakfast tea he will enjoy equally. His Bailin Gong Fu is sometimes not as strong as I want at breakfast but I don’t want a pure Assam unless it is smooth enough to drink plain without hurting my tummy.
We had a big pot for breakfast, hot with no additions. At lunch I iced what remained. For afternoon snack, I made the last little bit and added some lavender syrup that I made yesterday from my absolutely ancient stash of Harney and Sons lavender that I bought by the pound and will absolutely buy again when this batch is gone. I love it but it can end up being neglected when you have too many teas on shelf and you are the only one who drinks it. But Ashman is enjoying the blend of iced Brigadoon with lavender syrup, so maybe he is coming around to some new floral teas!
Seems like it’s mostly a mix of their Assam and Keemun so you could probably get close by blending those yourself. I doubt the silver needle is adding much.
