I love me a good Tung Ting. And damn, this one…

The scent from the leaves when I open the jar I keep them in is enough to put a smile on my face. So fresh, so crisp, so fragrant. A hint of the coming wonderfulness.

Brewing is simple, 14 grams (I like it big) in my 32 ounce Bodum Assam teapot, a quick rinse, then 200 degree water for 2 minutes.

The aroma this tea puts off is tantalizing. It has a certain dark freshness, like tropical flowers, with a bit of sweet earth in the mix.

And then there is the taste. Just amazing. Buttery smooth, crisp and clean, the hints of tropical flowers settle right in and balance the wet earth with a slightly sweet overtone.

This tea reminds me of when I was a kid and helping my family work in the floriculture department at the county fair. I always loved that smell, the smell of plant life, of tropical flowers, of begonias and marigolds and iris and orchids. So fresh, so clean, so full of life.
