CWarren gifted/swapped Tea Competitions Spring (High Mountain Shanlinxi) from Huaging Chen. I decided that I needed to start drinking samples which others have given me. I like reviewing those teas, and they’re usually very good!
This was an enjoyable tea that had so many flavors on the tongue. Within the first 4-5 steeps there were chestnut, fig, and plum notes on the palate. I must admit that drinking this in the morning and drinking it before bed was a great idea. I’m currently drinking the last 2g of tea before work now, and it’s a really nice tea to start the day with. I’m going to throw the used leaves into a jar with water, and cold brew the rest for tonight. I’m looking forward to that session already because I know that it’ll be enjoyable cold.
Side note: 2 weeks left of Summer Camp. The children are restless and longing to go back to school—whether they believe it or not—and I’m ready to have my afternoons to drink tea. Yes, I’ll have to wake up at 4:30 for work during the school year, but at least I get my tea after the kids are sent to school!
