I’m sure this will sound familiar to many Steepsters…

I had completely forgotten that I owned this tea. I only found this when I was going through my black teas last night because there are now too many to fit on the shelf that I devoted to them. I now have one shelf for Chinese black teas one for those grown elsewhere.

I am really excited to find this because I have two samples of Jin Jun Mei from The Mandarin’s Tea Room and I wanted something to compare them to.

This is a really good tea, but I wish I knew what foods to pair it with. I ate a piece of chocolate with this and it just didn’t go well at all. I’m going to try to pair this with something savory next time.

Preparation

Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.

Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.

I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
