Dragon Tea HouseI determined that for the rest of today, I would drink nothing but infusions of this tea, and see how far it got me. The aroma of the leaves is very light, as one would expect from a bai mu dan, and somewhat vegetal. I’m also getting some notes of cucumber and perhaps some pear, although to me it is not as sweet as a pear. Perhaps an underripe pear.
I did the first steep longer than I ought to, because sometimes you just have to pick up and cuddle the fussy baby. (I have a confession, fellow Steepsters: I do not typically use a timer for tea. I should, but I don’t. I am sure one day I will pick up a timer at a Dollar General or something and henceforth never be parted from it, but that day, alas, has not come.) ANYWAY. The brew was a medium peridot kind of color, and the aroma was again predominantly cucumber. The taste was very fresh, like sprouts coming out of the ground in the morning, covered in last night’s dew. I could taste the cucumber as well, very watery and juicy.
The second steep was less cucumber-y, but it was still there. The third steep brought the onset of something almost metallic, almost mint-like in it’s aftertaste. I couldn’t put my finger on it. I decided then that three steeps was enough. If my husband was here, he’d probably have steeped it a few more times, but alack, he is not. :(
Anyway, I don’t think I would buy this one, but I’m glad I got to try it. :)
Ancient Alphabet challenge – D
Another good one! A great quality white tea. Nothing new to say really, and it’s a sipdown. ALSO another company that I genuinely planned on ordering from and I THOUGHT has now closed up shop, but my virus scanner is telling me is a risk for my computer if I visit their site.
2022 sipdowns: 50
Lochan Tea is alive and well, and just sent me a huge list of 2022 first flushes. I’ll be doing an order when the SF Darjeelings come out, so let me know if you want anything (though considering the rate at which I send packages out, you might get it in the fall!).
Leafhopper – that is very awesome & thoughtful of you but I currently have no teas I deem fresh enough to swap with anyone. I have been trying to drink what I have – definitely no orders probably for almost a year now. Thank you though!
I understand the problem of having too much tea! You could always pay me for the teas plus shipping, but that could get expensive and would make your stash even bigger. :)
I better not right now, will refrain but thanks again. :D
I liked this one and took some out of the teabox. Sometimes I just want a light tea!
