12 Tasting Notes
I really enjoyed the bright verbena and lemongrass high notes, balanced by the earthy oolong second. I think it would be easy to miss the oolong when it is under-steeped, I learned that out of stubborness when I let it steep for a full ten minutes, I was entirely determined to get some body out of it. It ddi, and further brewing made me stick to a minimum five minute steep.
Other than that, the only thing I noted was that if you enjoy a little sweet in your tea, honey was much nicer than sugar for this blend. Something about the lemon makes standard white sugar taste almost metallic – bad bad bad. Honey, however, seemed to blend much more smoothly.
Preparation
I tried this tea for its combination of healthy herbals, but I fell in love because it is possibly the most delicious liquor I have ever infused! It is great hot or chilled and I always feel refreshed after having some. The pur’eh is rich but the ginger keeps it crisp. I would highly recommend this to all the tea lovers out there and anyone just getting into trying pur’eh tea – its not at all intimidating!
…verbena & lemongrass interesting combination with Oolong. Actually I never heard or even thought about that. Will keep that in mind for coming summer and simply do my own blend.
