Day 2 of the Tea Thoughts Winter Countdown box. I love that Nazanin has been increasingly experimenting with sourcing teas for the countdown boxes. It adds another dimension to the way that the boxes help me explore new-to-me teas. I probably should have tucked one of these little cakes away for later, but I ended up drinking both of them: one last month as a sneak peek and one today for a proper note. It’s just such an easy drinker, dangit. Made gong fu style both times, the result is smooth and sweet, with a very slight mineral note. Dark honey, almost jammy but not in a heavy way. I accidentally let the cup cool and it made for a great iced tea – I can see this being really good on a hot summer day!
