2 Tasting Notes
I thought this tea was pretty good…even with my limited experience tasting yellow teas. The sweet/sour starfruit note was really prominent and the pumpkin seed warmth was something that I also really enjoyed. Honestly, quite delicious and worth the higher price than usual yellow teas. I could get about 4-5 good brews out of it. My dad and aunt didn’t care too much for this tea, hilariously stating that it tasted like eggs and chicken broth to them. I strongly disagree. I followed suppliers advice of 120 seconds for first steep at 165F temp. I think this works best for this tea.
Preparation
Site doesn’t allow me to put exact time and temperature so disregard what it auto-populates below….but, I followed Mei Leaf guidelines for 20 seconds for first brew and 210F. Honestly, this tea just reminds me overwhelmingly of BBQ-esque/smoky flavor. Not a huge fan. I guess it did compliment the smoked BBQ ribs I was eating at the time LOL. But, unfortunately I did not pick up much of the tasting notes promised by Mei Leaf (Pandan, roasted nuts, creme brulee, malted milkshake).
