Geek Steep S3E17 – Paper Girls (Graphic Novel)
This is the tea that I drank during our recording! I had recently gotten in my big sample order from Seven Teahouse so I was excited to drink one of their teas on the podcast, and it was actually even more perfect timing because I’d also recently gotten a really large haul of moon cakes for the Mid Autumn Festival! So, this tea was enjoyed alongside a lemon paste and egg yolk flavoured moon cake.
The mooncake was delicious with a great balance of zesty sweet lemon and buttery pastry – like a fancier lemon pound cake. It paired great with this tea, which is a Dong Ding oolong. It was floral and nutty with a pleasant medium body. The nuttier notes melded perfectly with buttery pastry and the orchid and lilac notes with the lemon. It was a very nice little moment!
