I’m not huge on whites, but these aged ones might yet win me over. I’m used to more medicinal and sharp white teas, but this one burst forth immediately with honey and malt and milk. In fact, it reminded me so much of my childhood breakfast of hot Grape Nuts and milk topped with hone that I was made hungry almost immediately. The early steepings were mostly honey and grain, while the mid steepings shifted to more of honey and autumn leaf pile, very tasty. The later steepings started to calm down quite a bit, still milk and honey, and the tea pooped out around six steeps, though it was tasty all the way through. I found myself quite tea-drunk, by the end, and my notes don’t make a whole lot of sense :)

Bio

After several dark years in coffee land, I’m back to the world of tea. I’m still very much new to everything, but I’m trying anything I can get my paws on and enjoying all of it.

I’m a fan of pu-erh, oolong, and have a soft spot for intensely bergamot Earl Greys.
