Gongfu!
Quick early morning session from the morning after one of the nights I slept at my place while my mom was/is visiting – AKA a breakfast tea session! I was inspired by Theoolongdrunk to pair this white tea with some fresh figs. He was definitely onto something though and the delicate sweet dewy notes of the fruit paired wonderfully with the the thick and creamy liquor of the white tea which had delightful notes of clotted cream, cucumber pulp, fresh hay, and tobacco. So smooth with a perfect kiss of sweetness and an overall deeply fresh feel to the session!
This tea is now sold out so it’s a moot point, but this type of creamy cucumber profile is my favourite in white teas and if it weren’t sold out I might be tempted to cake this tea…
