Another of the samples sent by the lovely Angel from Teavivre.
As others have mentioned, this comes vacuum-sealed and boy does this smell fresh!
I separated my first steeping of this tea into three cups, each steeped for a minute longer. 1 minute was light, as you would imagine, and pleasent. Not tasting any honey at this stage, but the overall flavour makes me look forward to cup #2. 2 minutes and the flavour was beautifully rounded. I could taste the honey just barely and it complemented the oolong beautifully. 3 minutes and the vegetal oolong comes out. For personal taste, I’ll probably steep it around the 2 minute mark from now on.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tea and have marked it down as one to purchase. The little packets would make great stocking stuffers actually. Might have to pick up a bunch for Christmas!
Tea stocking stuffers. I think you just made me cry.
With joy, I hope?
Yes! Just the thought of those adorable little packages of tea squirreled away in a stocking!
