Jujube Tea with Pine Nuts (잣 대추 함유) from Kookje

Scharp drank Jujube Tea with Pine Nuts (잣 대추 함유) by Kookje

This tea was pretty good. I’m not sure how to describe this, as it is my first Jujube tea. Used as a traditional medicine and drink in Korea, this tea does the trick. I wasn’t feeling very well, but decided to eat at my favorite Sushi place anyway. I told the chef, and he said that he knew just the thing for me. He came from the kitchen with a piping-hot cup of this tea. It smelled spicy, and almost reminded me of a Chai. The taste was good, and spicy as well, but I cannot describe it very well. It has a very distinct flavor, and a very nice aroma. I was very pleased to take some home as well. This did make me feel somewhat better, but I’ll leave sleeping do the rest for me.

Bio

I love drinking and reviewing tea! Green, Oolong, Black, White, Yellow, Dark, Pu-erh… It’s all great. In particular, my favorites are Taiping Hou Kui, and Aged Teas.

I’m currently in California, and started my interest in tea at a very young age. Ever since, I’ve looked for exotic, rare, and even newly-developed teas to try.

It doesn’t end there: I’ll try just about any tea new to me that crosses my path.

I typically brew tea in a traditional manner (different teas require different steeping times and water temperatures, ect…). Whichever directions are on the packaging or website, I tend to follow as well.

I’m also building a private collection of Pu-Erh teas and teas good for Aging. Hopefully, they’ll turn out nice.

Companies: If you are looking for a reviewer for tea, I would be happy to sample any of the teas you offer.

Message me for Sample swapping.
