Gongfu!
Steeping this tea up for the first time this afternoon! I’ve had a migraine for the last two days, so my tea drinking has been mostly soothing mints and other herbal blends – not a lot of proper tea sessions. However, I got my most recent White2Tea order in just a few days ago, and the box of shiny new tea goodies has been staring at me begging to be brewed, so I finally caved and picked out a tea for session…
Based on the name of the blend I had anticipated this black tea would lean a little more floral and I’m happy to say that those expectations were met. At first steep, this is a very smooth yet thick and syrupy tea with a really aromatic and potent rose taste and scent. It’s coupled with darker notes of sweet honey and a bit of lush, deep fruit note bordering on something just a bit medicinal. Black currant jam, in a way. The whole thing makes me feel like I’m walking through a rose garden at midnight. It’s enchanting but in a broody sort of way, with surprising complexity.
I’m sure I will appreciate this more when I don’t feel as though someone is driving a nail into my temple, but it’s been a delightful momentary respite before I return to my next pot of soothing peppermint tea.
