Mercuryhime drank Cantaloupe Bai Mu Dan by 52teas

I made a second steep and then ate the cantaloupe chunk before discarding the leaves. That’s was one tasty dried (rehydrated) cantaloupe! Where can I get me some of those!

Anyway, steep two has lost most of the flavoring. Now it’s a nice white tea with a hint of melon-y aftertaste. It seems almost natural that it should be there.

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
