Brought this tea to my parents’ house for my morning Christmas tea. Mostly I wanted to have it from a teacup again to reaffirm my love of it after the mediocre showing it had in my travel tumbler.
In a teacup again, this tea is yummy. Bright, clear, smooth with a little Darjeeling-like citrus sparkle laid over top a more Yunnan-tasting base tea flavor. This is the first time the husband has had it and he’s a big fan, too, giving it a 5 out of 5 and saying that it is like a Darjeeling but with very little acidity or bitterness. Smooth and with good, full flavor.
This tea definitely is happier in an open cup and I’m happier with it there too.

I know that the nose is something like a thousand times more sensitive than the tongue in terms of what it can discern, but it still fascinates me how closely the two are linked together when we eat and drink things.
