From August Uncommon Tea

Tastes Like: roasted peanuts, melted sweet butter, burnt molasses
Feels Like: sweet confectionary kitchen air
Steamed-filled windows draw curious noses into the kitchen on candy-making day. The first sip conjures up the aroma of dry earthy roasted peanuts as they are dropped into a pan of sizzling sweet butter. Next arise deeper flavors of dark molasses and crisp peanut skin. A burnt finger is a price worth paying for an illicit taste of a homemade confection.

Yellow tea is extremely uncommon. This tea was grown at around 1000 meters above sea level in the verdant Anhui province of China. It is produced with a special cloth-drying process that mellows the natural astringency of the tea and imparts a distinctive peanut aroma.

Ingredients: yellow tea from Anhui province

Beautiful, sophisticated tea. This one is for when you want to focus on the tea itself, not distractedly sipping it while doing something else. I say this because the flavors are complex, and not obvious. Best enjoyed when you’re in a more contemplative mood. Dry leaf smells lightly sweet, earthy, vegetal. The vendor states this tea can be resteeped (three infusions total), so that is what I did. First infusion was a bit tannic, definitely tasted the peanut flavor, along with a spinachy note. Second infusion didn’t have a tannic bite at all, well-balanced between the nutty, sweet and vegetal notes. This was my favorite infusion. Third infusion was light and sweet, with more of the molasses coming out. I thoroughly enjoyed this tea, especially how different each infusion was.

Flavors: Molasses, Peanut, Spinach, Vegetal
