Got this in last month’s Tearunners box. You can really smell the orange and vanilla in the dry leaf, but it kind of disappears in the brewed tea? Or at least it’s very subtle, with a nice sweetness from the vanilla and just a hint of the orange. The combination of black and puer in the base is actually really nice – in the first steep the black is predominant and the puer just rounds out and deepens it a little. On the second steep the earthy notes from the puer are a bit more prominent. A nice, comforting start to the day.

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
