I have this tea, I make it with fresh lemon peel and palm sugar, and just let it sit in my dancing leaves teapot for as long as it takes me to finish, never gets bitter but then doesnt have enough oompf to make another pot

I guess I’ll start with teas I’m addict to. This is another tea of our collection, hope it’s not too exaggerate that I love our own teas… GABA Oolong is another of my everyday tea, and it’s a MUST in my travel mug. It tastes like Oriental Beauty and Honey Black Tea, with smoother character. I’m not a serious tea-ceremony person, and this tea is perfect as a daily tea for me.
