Okay, this has been bugging me. Why is it Premium Steap? Why not Steep? What is a Steap? I feel like I’m missing something. Anyone? Anyone? Buller?

Anyway, tea. Oooh, toasty. This smells like fruits so heavily grilled they are past caramelized and almost into burnt. But in a good way. The taste is a lot milder as far as the toasty, but it is still there. It tastes a lot like grilled peaches and something else… something a little reedy maybe? It’s a very wet taste. There’s no astringency to this, just sweetness and light toasty-ness.

This is a tasty tea and my cup emptied surprisingly quick. I can’t say this something that I require in my pantry, but it’s tasty enough that I would enjoy it if I had some. Since this is so different from my typical, it’s a little hard to rate. I reserve the right to bump it up a bit if I find myself thinking this tea at non-tea times.

Maybe they’re BEAtles fans? No other guess. Lol.

Shanti

Maybe it’s supposed to be like s TEA p? Haha, I have no idea…

Stephanie

I think you’re right Shanti! I think it is supposed to be like S*TEA*p!

__Morgana__

Shanti’s answer makes a lot more sense than mine. I vote for that one! Lol.

Jillian

Typo? LOL :D

JacquelineM

Yes, Shanti is correct :) sTEAp! It’s funny because it’s a very elegant shop – not cutesy at all – except for the sTEAp!

Auggy

Yay! I’m so glad I asked! And that makes sense so I feel much better!

Sipdown no. 6 of June 2019 (no. 78 of 2019 total, no. 566 grand total).

I took the last little bit of this to work over the past couple of days, steeped Western. I also enjoyed it cold a couple of times. It’s a good tea. Looking at my original note, I think the only thing that kept it from a higher rating was that I liked other similar oolongs a bit better — but it was solid. I can’t improve on what I said in the original note.

While it’s a decent tea, I’m not going to be picking this up ever again. When I went to this store, I was impressed by the selection. They have a lot of tea and plenty of tea accessories. The problem with my experience here was the service. The woman that was working that day (who I believe was the manager) was very rude to me. She wouldn’t acknowledge that I even entered the store and when I asked her for suggestions, she seemed very annoyed with me. It was clear that she didn’t want me in the store at all. Stay away.
