Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip from Teavivre

ashmanra drank Yun Nan Dian Hong Black Tea – Golden Tip by Teavivre

I drank green tea this morning, but when I was cooking lunch I saw the basket of leaves from yesterday. I picked them up and sniffed them. Aaaahh! Baked sweet potatoes, holiday style, roasted until the skin burst then a little orange glaze added. I decided to try resteeping and icing this with a bit of sweetener. Not bad! And it was a great way to be thrifty with my tea.

Is it bad that I am trying to be thrifty with my tea at the same time I am trying to drink up a whole lot of tea and cull my shelves? And the main reason I am trying to clean off those shelves is so that I will feel justified ordering more tea?

Oh, the rationalizations we go through. ;) I am right there with ya!

“Waste not, want not” was drilled into my psyche during childhood, so when the resteeping realization hit me, it slowed (slowed, not stopped, lol) my urge for more. And it was this tea that did it (and Upton’s Imperial Golden Monkey, which is pulling me towards another Upton order … and the wish list over there is very scary, haha). I mean, there’s only one of me here….

I think it would be bad not to steep and resteep and then steep some more especially with this one (and the dragon pearls).

I read about drying leaves when you can’t resteep for some reason right away. If you live in a really dry climate like I do…I can put the leaves on a plate and within 20 minutes they are dry. I put them in a tin and resteep as soon as I can. You can’t just leave them wet for hours and hours because they pick up bacteria.
