Sipdown!
You shouldn’t be surprised, it’s an oolong and a green one at that. I brought this to work (sounds familiar) and plowed through the 26 grams my husband bought me in Montreal and the 10 or so grams that came in the kosher tea set my brother got me for Hanukkah this past year. I found that this generally lasts 3 steeps and the leaves get so big! Also, peachy rings.
I’d rebuy but not right away.
I recently discovered loose leaf tea and am already addicted (much to my husband’s dismay)! I prefer fruity teas iced and savory teas hot. Looking forward to drinking and chatting.
Some likes/dislikes I’ve been noticing:
Likes:
Pineapple
Jasmine
Fruity White Teas
lighters Blacks
Most Oolongs (especially greener varieties)
dessert teas
tisanes iced that don’t require added sweetener
Dislikes:
Spicy flavors unless in chai
astringent black teas
heavy ginger teas
teas with licorice (as primary ingredients – somehow I like some where the licorice is in the back drop)
heavily oxidized oolongs

For my own reference, I’m only placing “full size” teas in my cupboard.
