Such a beautiful tea. Brews up a nice dark orange with lots of complexity and malty goodness. Had a nice gong fu session with this tea this morning, and can’t get that wonderfully distinctive Yunnan flavor out of my head. Hearty goodness through multiple brews.
I have been drinking tea for most of my life, and enjoy learning about Tea Culture from all around the world. I learned early about Russian and British traditions first, since my parents came from Europe, followed by the teas and culture of Ceylon/Sri Lanka and India. Since I have been a practicing Buddhist for the better part of 25 years, I have strong ties to Asia, and have slowly been learning about the teas from each part of the world I encounter. It is a wonderful and interesting journey.
