Edit: Its not good anymore. I picked up another 20g and now it has a very artificial, yogurty powder taste (like those dry yogurt bits in cereal). When I first tried this tea there was no milk flavouring, and the price was higher, and it was delicious. Well, now there is flavouring, which I imagine is why the price dropped. The taste is just not the same… I don’t like it at all.
Ooooooooh my god. I picked up 15g of this to try. I’m still a newbie to tea, and while I read about the gong fu style of steeping I messed up my first try. I gave it a rinse of 15 seconds, steeped it again, tasted like meh. I gave up and just steeped it for 5 minutes straight and it tasted like grass. Oooooh, what a waste of good tea!
I gave it another shot a couple days ago and oh my god. I steeped it at a little under boiling for 2 minutes, took a sip hot, and thought it was much better than before but still not impressive. I let it cool for a couple minutes while typing up my essay, took a second sip…. and oh my god. It was like drinking cream of broccoli or spinach soup! It was so creamy in the mouth and the taste was so buttery and rich – I couldn’t believe it. I’m trying to drop some fat weight, and while I still enjoy eating bacon and eggs and other rich foods while doing so… This was such a rich treat. I felt like such a gluttonous fatty drinking this tea, as if I’d put on 10lbs with each sip. God. I need to buy a hundred grams of this stuff! Its too good!
I did a second steep of it at 4 minutes and this taste was a little less like cream of whatever soup and more like pure butter. Almost sickening. Almost. I need more of this in my life. I can’t believe its not butter.
