I’m feeling quite anxious this morning, and my most comforting teas are either very roasty or savory Japanese greens. This was the only tea in my sipdown drawer that fit the bill (roasty, not Japanese green), so I steeped up an oversized mug full of this delicious tea. Actually, now that I think of it, there did seem to be some umami-ness to this tea today in addition to the usual roasted oolong goodness. Perhaps it was the leaf to water ratio? I’m not entirely sure what that was because I almost never use my giant mug for tea, so I just kind of eyeballed it.
Anyway, I only have one or two servings of this one left, so I will be sad when I’m out. I was considering repurchasing, but when I went to Teavana the other day, they said that this tea had been discontinued for a while. It didn’t make much sense to me because I only just recently got it from another Teavana location, so either it was getting old or the Teavanas are just inconsistent with which teas they have in stock? Oh, wait, I just checked their website and it looks like they have it in stock. Weird. I guess I’ll have to go back to the original Teavana I got this from!
