Oh myyyyyy.
I used 1 tsp in about 3 oz, in my brand new gaiwan of supremely beautiful beauty! I steeped for 3 min, then did a 2nd steep for 3 min and put both steeps in a mug with some almond milk and maple syrup. I love this!
It seems like a dessert tea to me, so I just went right in for the milk/sweetener.
I just drank a very unpleasant dirt shou, but this is making me forget all about it! Nice job Stacy and Foxy!!!!! <3

Yay, and phew!! So relieved you liked it :-)
The idea of maple syrup in tea never occurred to me. Did you use sweetened almond milk?
You know, Allan, it never occurred to me either! I learned that trick on Steepster!
No, I always buy unsweetened milks now, so I don’t automatically get the benefit of the built-in sweetener. :)
I don’t generally put milk in tea but if I did it would be almond milk. I don’t drink dairy milk for health reasons. Now I am trying to think of some teas to add maple sugar or maple syrup to. I have maple sugar at home but not maple syrup. I might try adding maple sugar to a puerh tomorrow.
I really need to try this tea…
Is it really nutty because that’s why I’ve been on the fence about buying it.
I don’t drink dairy either, Allan. Different reason, same result. I really like almond and coconut milks, or there’s a great almond/coconut blend I get also. Let me know how you like the maple sugar!
And I think I may try a little maple in my next shou… good idea!
Ost – I didn’t find it overly nutty. I thought the nutty flavor was noticeable, but everything just blended nicely into a banana nut bread flavor. If you’re still hesitant, I can send you a little to try. :)
:O I would really love to try it. Just gotta let me know what I can send back to you! XD
Mmmmkay… PM me your info. :)
What was the unpleasant shou you had?
Allan is a great guy I pulled to this site. You may want to include him in your circle.
This one, mrm. Did not care for it AT ALL. Lol

I’m following Allan and I’ve been enjoying his notes :)
I may agree with you on that one. Thanks for giving Allan a shot. We have been friends on another site for a while now. I was glad to see him on here.
Following Allan also :-)
MrM – It was so earthy. It tasted like just dirt… no chocolate or leather or other notes of anything else. I just couldn’t even finish the cup. I want to love the shou!!!!!!!!
