June 2023 → a tea that was a gift
Eh, this isn’t great. It’s super old though, so I’m sure that’s the reason. I only have a couple of bags left so I may just steep those up together to see if that gives me more flavor. These tea bags were a gift from a coworker several years ago.

June 2023 → a favorite bagged tea
Another tea that I love but always seem to be forgetting about. It’s dark and earthy with a solid cardamom flavor. This is a tea that I’ll make and finish before I even think about it because it’s just that good.
Flavors: Cardamom, Earthy
Preparation
This is a surprisingly good shu! I didn’t think bagged puerh could be very tasty but Numi is what I recommend for tea newbies who are not equipped with infusers and such.
I was just looking on their website and it looks like they don’t make this one anymore. I might need to try one of their others though. It looks like they have three different puerh options.
Sad! I just looked at my very old note for it and I see that I sent some of it to gmathis and Superanna, who both liked it. I did not like the mint puerh, but that one is no longer available either.

June 2023 → a lingering holiday/advent tea
A leftover tea from the 52Teas advent last year. Oolongs are often hit or miss for me. I really enjoy the ones with a deep toasty flavor. This one was lighter than I was hoping, but the maple flavor really came through. It wasn’t for me, but James loved it!
Flavors: Maple Syrup
