chrine drank Snow Buds (Xue Ya) by Rishi Tea

4th steep! This is the first time I’ve done a 4th steep on any tea, I think. Yay tea! It’s good. I may do a 5th steep. I may not.

Clearing off my desk again is not good. Didn’t I just do this on Monday? Where did all this stuff come from?

Don’t you love it when tea leaves are still yummy around the 3rd and 4th steep? I think 4 steeps is the furthest I’ve ever done as well…I think Dawn (Simple Leaf) could have gone for 5+, but I got bored of it by that point. :)

I need to remember this tea. I think they had it at Williams Sonoma. Next time I’m there I’ll have to pick some up.

Bio

I’m a 28 year old pharmacist. I live with my husband and our two cats, Bin and Sakai. I love tea, coffee, reading, and learning.

I’ve drank tea all my life but recently my close friend Spautz became an educated tea drinker and started educating me. Since then I’ve tried white teas and oolong and learned that I love rooibos.
