90

I had this one before bed last night, but was too sleepy to log it. If you’re wondering why I haven’t been reading/liking your posts, it’s because I’m in the middle of doing our wine club. This involves emailing each of our wine club members about the spring release, updating new information, customizing orders, charging credit cards, and creating shipping templates…None of which is automized, but at least we don’t do fulfillment on-site.

Anyway, about the tea. This one was definitely different than the financier. In the financier, the prominent flavors were the brown butter and the almond. This one tasted like a lighter, sweet buttery cake. I have to admit, I really like these tea flavors a lot.

Oh, one other thing…The base green tea on these reminds me of a formosa oolong. That is what the leaves look similar to after steeping (not that they are rolled the same way), and it has the same kind of almost fruity sweetness that something like a milk oolong has. This I’m not too fond of. I wish they had used a more nutty green as the base.

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!
