Seven Cups

Today my custom pu-erh/lapsang blend fortified us as we worked in the garden, transplanting and dividing perennials and creating a new 10×50 foot bed full of daisies, monarda, salvia, lilies, and hostas. We worked for an hour, drank a cup, worked for another hour, drank another cup — until we were done.

For some unknown reason, we drank this after dinner last night. It didn’t have the same relaxing and digestive effect that the silk tie guan yin did. Must remember to stick with the oolongs after dinner and leave the heavily fermented yunnanese teas for the morning and afternoon.

This isn’t usually a tea I drink in the morning, but it seemed just the right thing today. Excellent as always.

I infused these leaves for the fourth time today, and still got good results. I’m definitely planning to buy more of this once my sample is gone.

I love oolongs and this is a very good one…in fact, I wish I had more than my little 10g sample. Very smooth with no bitterness, and a slight sweetness to it. I’m on my third infusion and I’m still getting a good infusion, with each getting slightly more mellow. I am now interested in trying more teas from Seven Cups.
