My first LP tea! I just got done with an online test for school, and midway through the test, the mailman delivered a box full of lots of LP teas and a bamboo container. I think it shipped in 2-3 days—Nice! Since the test was not timed, I decided to open a few of the teas and get a good “sniff.” Good idea! The bamboo container is very cool and well made. I put the Oolberry tea in there—It holds a little over an ounce of tea.
I’m drinking the first steep currently as I type. I’m interested to see if I can make a better cup of this because I made a dang good cup right now. The flavoring is very natural tasting. It’s well balanced. Neither flavor is overpowering whatsoever. I was scared that the bergamot would be too strong, but it wasn’t. The peach hits the tongue right away and the Bergamot finishes. It’s got a citrussy tang, and I like that. There’s no bitterness.
Okay, steep #2 findings: This ones a little sweeter and less tangy. It lost a little flavor, but not much. This is a pretty smooth tea, and the liqueur is a nice peachy amber.
Steep 3#: I probably steeped this one for 5-6 minutes, and it was actually STRONGER than steep #2. I’m wondering how many steeps I can get out of this. I’ll try for at least one more.
In conclusion, this is a very good tea. Well done, Andrew! I can tell a lot of time is put in to everything, so cheers!
On to Silver Jasmine.
Flavors: Bergamot, Citrus, Fruity, Peach
Of the LP teas I’ve tried so far, this one was my favorite!
It’s definitely a good one! I picked a good one to start with. I got 4 really good steeps out of it. The 5th steep was still good, but dying a little.
