Ashmanra was evidently tired of my bewailing and bemoaning that I could no longer buy my beloved Fujian Congou from Nature’s Tea Leaf :) and sent me a Teavivre sample as a possible alternative.

I am in rebound love. This steeps dark and sweet and I just want to keep my nose in the cup. It affects me like 19th century smelling salts to calm me down and make me docile.

There is an entire thesaurus of descriptor names that have already been assigned to this little gem by other Steepsters, so I don’t have to invent new ones, but those that trip my trigger are hay, wood, leather, and brown sugar—which intensifies as the cup cools. Sweetness. (Thanks, friend!)

Hooray! Hooray! This has been my breakfast tea for all those reasons! I am so glad you loved it! I was hoping you would. I was pretty sure you would. And you did! Happy dance to start my day!
