Received as part of the blind tea testing pack from story of my tea. It’s not something I would normally buy for myself but happy I tried it! Somewhere in between a light oolong and black tea, beautiful colour.

This tea actually tastes pretty much exactly like the description on the website…it’s buttery and vegetal and each steep is a little different but always extremely pleasant. I think I’m at my 6th steep now and it’s still flavourful.

Received this as a sample for ordering online. The only way I was able to get rid of the perfume chemical taste was to brew in a gaiwan and throw out the first brew, which seemed to be the worse. Subsequent brews at about 30 seconds each (80 degrees) were much better. The peachy taste came through and was more delicate. Still, the flowery aftertaste of this tea is a bit too much for my taste.

Brewed at 90 degrees and added maple syrup. I made a double portion and refrigerated the rest (also with maple syrup).

First brew tasted way too strongly of cinnamon. Second with some maple syrup was better.

Best with milk and maple syrup.
