I am not blown away by this tea. I brewed it up in the 1 cup Yixing pot. Maybe I made it a little strong. It has a darker liquor and a nice delicate aroma. The second infusion has lost the aroma although the liquid is still quite dark. A good tea. Not a great tea. Quite uplifting I might add….

I cold brewed this for around 24 hours with generous leaf. The result is far better than the 2 other tastings. I have to up the score on this one. It has a very light aroma but the flavor is absolutely delicious and refreshing….

I cold brewed this one in the Mason Jar for maybe 24 hours maybe less sorry I did’nt take note. I used a generous amount of leaf. Perhaps 2 teaspoons. I shake it from time to time and smell it to determine if its ready. It’s a pleasant, refreshing drink. I’m getting a hint of dairy in the flavor. Can this be possible? I’m also brewing up the Verdant Sundried in the same fashion to compare….

This tea grew on me. Don’t over brew, though. Heads south quickly. Use leaf sparingly. Holds up well with food. A decent “everyday” tea.
