Ooh! Free samples for reviewing. I’m down with that. I just feel badly that these have sat for a week and a half because I had too many teaboxes all at once.
I did this one pseudo gongfu again, because even though I’m at home with all my equipment, I’m just feeling lazy this morning and I didn’t want to break it all out. I wanted to relax and enjoy tea, so that is what I am doing.
I did a quick rinse. I sometimes drink the rinse on oolongs, sometimes I don’t. I always try it, and sometimes I just drink the one sip, sometimes I drink about half. This one, I drank the whole thing. On the first sip, all I could think was, “wow! This is incredibly sweet and creamy!” It was delicious.
Anyway, the early infusions are less mineral and more floral, but in the later infusions, the mineral and vegetal flavors really shine, but it still finishes amazingly sweet and floral. through every infusion, I noticed how creamy and smooth this tea felt in my mouth.
I really enjoyed this one. I highly recommend several short infusions, increasing the time with each one, to truly enjoy all of the different flavors. Every single infusion has been different, but really nice. I’m still drinking this one.
