It’s been ludicrously cold here recently (especially by London’s usually always-mild standards), so I was massively craving something warm and comforting. I saw my old bag of this, sitting on my shelf, and felt it might be worth giving it another go.
I think it was a good call! Every infusion was smooth, slightly sweet, and comforting, with notes (I think) of caramel and chocolate.
I didn’t treat it as well as I should have (sorry Brenden!), but I did at least use my nice gaiwan and tea set. I think I mostly used boiling or near-boiling water, with pretty short steeps. I didn’t steep this tea out, as it was getting late and then my boyfriend came home so we moved on to cook dinner. BUT it was certainly going strong after the 4 or 5 rounds I did.
I still have enough in my bag for another two sessions, I think, so maybe tomorrow I’ll go again and I’ll really do it properly. Still, I absolutely loved this session.
When some more money comes through, I think I may treat myself to some more WP teas. It’s been a while, and their new puerh cakes look/sound lovely. Plus, they’re pitched at an affordable price, which is always good to see.

The North East is absolutely freezing! I was at the football match this afternoon freezing half to death and dreaming about going home and resteeping my final leaves of Heaven’s Trash. I finally got home to find that they’d been thrown out. I’m feeling slightly bereaved.
Believable!! We actually had a snowstorm down here, on Thursday, so I can only imagine how much colder it was in the NE… Kudos to you for spending time outdoors hahaha
And nooooooo – sad times :( I’m afraid it’s not even one I have any of that I could send you…
We had snow up here too! Apparently I missed most of it XD Hahaha I was brave :’)
Oh thank you for the thought! It’s okay haha, better to move on. It’ll be practice for all the other teas I’m about to run out of…
