I’ve been drinking off of this one all day. I think I got 4 or 5 steeps out of it, with the last one being a little weak, plus another short steep that I poured on my yixing teapot to feed her (that’s what you’re supposed to do right?).
First of, the smell of this one reminds me of pine nuts for some reason, (I don’t even know if I know what pine nuts smell like) probably because of the vegetal and nutty aromas mixing together.
This is a nice smooth sort of buttery tea, with a nice mix of nutty and vegetal, two of my favorite notes in a tea. This is lightly sweet and nutty in the first few steeps, with the vegetal and sort of metallic taste coming out more in the later steeps. This tea is also sort of bright or crisp, its a really refreshing tea. Another tea that I didn’t end up sweetening!
