For just a little more steep time, I’m getting a lot more sweetness with a bit more astringency. The nose is a replica of honey and the liqueur comes off with such malty sweetness you would think you put honey in your tea. Awesome!

The sweet and sour end note is coming off as hint of earthy orange. Blood orange maybe…

Actually, it’s almost a perfect mimic of orange blossom honey. Ahh!

(Same tea to leaf ratio and method as before).

Tea is an excuse to talk about what it’s like to be a human. But also: “It’s fucking tea!” as my wife says, and that’s something I can get behind. I think the balance can be found in the extremes. Be reverent sometimes and irreverent (to keep yourself honest) at other times. Moderation be damned!

Formally I resold the Zhi Tea brand through Amazon. This is the company that helped me fall in love with tea so I’ve got a soft spot for them.

Also, I manage a company that helps small brands market themselves on Amazon. T-co.org if you are interested.
