September Sipdown Prompt – a tea from China

This is one of my favorite teas from China right now. It steeps quickly at a low temperature so everything about making it is faster in that respect. I can make three steeps so I only need one teaspoon for breakfast, making it last longer. Even making three steeps, it is ready faster than some other teas I enjoy at breakfast and I don’t have to wait too long for it to cool enough to sip.

Although the color of the tea isn’t very dark, the flavor is rich and full. It is one of the creamiest black teas I have had. It will definitely be a re-order, probably something for Ashman to put under the Christmas tree.

Heya Ashmanra, did you get your order in? I just tried to order some and they seem to be SOLD OUT! I guess it really is as good as you say!

Not yet! I still have a bit of this one but Lost Malawi only has about one more teapot full left. I hope they still have some!

I just ordered. I was able to get Lost Malawi and I bought Earl Grey for the simple reason that the tin artwork is gorgeous and I am weak. I had a Keemun in the cart to try but it must have sold out before I could check out because I was forced to remove as it said there were no delivery options available to me. I tried to put it back in and the listing was changed to sold out. Another time. I really shouldn’t have bought ANY more tea but I am justifying it one way or another!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
