Sipdown! (22 | 144)
I cut the steep a bit short for this last mug, because there were a lot of tiny bits and tea dust at the bottom of the bag.
I would call this a terribly complex tea, but it certainly is easy-drinking, and I find that to be the case with most compressed white teas I’ve tried. This mugful is a bit heavier than the others, due to the aforementioned bottom-of-the-bag-bits, so it has a stronger woody/earthy/mineral presence and a darker color. Still with those lovely dried hay notes and a touch of syrupy sweetness. Previous cups had a bit more of that sweet quality, and also some dried fruity notes reminiscent of dates or raisins. The bamboo roast is evident in the strong woody character and comforting toastiness.
Enjoyed sipping through the small bag, though I don’t know that I enjoy the bamboo element of it any more than a regularly processed white tea. I still have Moon Bear and Moon Waffles waiting to be enjoyed, so looking forward to sipping on those.
