Beorhthraefn included a tea bag of this in the Secret Pumpkin package. Thank you!
I was skeptical. This has an aroma of butter and heavy cream. OK, I’ll try. This turned out to be one of the worst experiences I’ve had with tea. It didn’t taste anything like oolong or ice cream. Chicken soup. I almost felt nauseated. I couldn’t finish the cup.
So my throat culture came back, and it is strep after all, just a weird sub group of strep! Hip hip hooray! /sarcasm.
So they’ll give me some medication, but in truth I was already feeling so, so much better, that it seems a little silly. I can swallow much easier now, and most of the pain is gone. Still pouring tea down the ol’ gullet, though.
And I’m starting to get a little frustrated with this. No temps, no steep times, nothing can coax anything even resembling “ice cream” out of this. C’mon, oolong! Play nice!
The leaf smells very green and strongly of authentic vanilla. It’s the smell I get when I cook with vanilla beans.
I steeped it as directed, 4 minutes at boiling. As soon as the water hit the sachet the air was infused with the vanilla smell. I steeped it sitting right in front of me so I could enjoy the fragrance for the full steeping time.
The tea was still really hot after four minutes, so I let it sit for a few minutes while I played Operation with the sachet. The leaves had totally filled it during the steep and I could almost hear them yelling, “Let me out!” So I did.
