Tea Thoughts Winter Countdown 2025 – Day 8
Day 6 was a cute teapot/snowglobe sticker and day 7 was another pu’erh. I’ve decided to just stop subjecting myself to pu’erhs for the rest of this calendar. I’ll put them aside for the next TTB or a swap. Let someone whose palate can actually enjoy and appreciate them get a try.
I brewed this up gong fu, losing track of exactly how many steeps I got but I think it was six or seven? This feels like a classic sort of Chinese black tea – spicy, sweet, malty, and full-bodied. The description describes this as having a “candied yam sweetness” and I can totally see that.
Two black teas and no stomach aches today, yay!
