TTB strikes again!
This smells like heaven and tastes twice as good. I’d almost be tempted to chew the tea leaves, if I didn’t know that I could resteep them at least a few more times and have more of this lovely, lovely tea.
The smell is intoxicatingly ethereal. It’s a bit vegetal and floral, as everyone has said…but what they haven’t noted is that it smells like a lush night-blooming garden in the heat of deepest summer. It’s not cloying, but it does surround you and infiltrate every sense. It may even permeate your skin, I’m not sure. Since I’ve been sniffing at it ever since I opened the bag, I’m hardly an objective judge! ;)
The taste is light, full, and tantalizing. It’s a bit like you’re drinking summer.
Norbu is apparently having a sale right now on this tea, too. End of Vintage sale, 25% off any quantity. Oh holy monkey, do I need some. .
WOW – if any post can make a sale, this one can! Beautifully written and persuasive, too! Enjoyed it, lots!
This sounds like a tea dream-come-true! Nighttime blooming garden? Awwww yeah!
I sooooooo LOVE Norbu!
