Another ancient open sample found in a drawer. At least I had the sense to store this one in a ziploc bag. Also another intended to be iced that never made it to the kitchen. I have a new plan for next time – I’m taking a glass of ice to the den. At least I stand a chance of iced tea that way.
This, even though old, is nicely balanced between a pleasant green oolong and a light strawberry taste and fragrance. It really is a nice easy to drink cup. My experience with it today matches my notes from when this was new, so looks like it handled my unintentional abandonment rather well.
An unrelated note: For the last several months my loose tea drinking has been limited to random scoops of black teas mixed to make iced tea by the gallon. What I have discovered is if you mix enough variety together (a little Assam, Ceylon, Darjeeling, etc) it starts to become a bit generic in taste. I’d stop but it is the only way I’m ever going to make progress getting my tea under control. Not to worry, my Yunnans, and Golden Monkey will never see the generic pot.

Hehe… Sometimes I think the tea stash will never be under control. Although for some reason I still try.
I haven’t bought any tea or accepted any samples for over a year and I am just now beginning to believe I may find the bottom of the black tea drawer. The green and oolong drawers are another story.
