First tea of the morning, enjoyed while fixing breakfast.
First steep = 4min
2nd steep = 5min
Both were delicious, smooth, with a nice thick sensation, flavors of Malt, a little chocolate, & that hint of coriander. And NO astringency! Upon finishing the 2nd cup, I have a tingle on the tip of my tongue & thickness along the sides. A wonderful way to start the day!

Mmmm. Some day I’ll try Mandala Tea! I keep associating them with Pu-erh cakes which I’m only just exploring so I don’t want to order until I know that I can explore the best they have. :D

Thanks Garret!
Cavo, I’ll add some of these to you next box, so you can try them out! I’m getting a pretty collection going :)
Garret – thanks for the offer. Once I’m ready to make an order maybe I’ll get your advice on what puerh to try, besides snagging a few “safe” black teas. I’m in Canada, but I’m sure I saw somewhere that I can just email you for a shipping quote so I’m not worried about that.
And Terri – box? :O :O :O
Would you like me to send you anything else as I pack up your Phoenix Pearls? I’m feeling a bit spoiled!
sounds really nice!

LOL…no.
It won’t really be a huge box like I always burden Sil with, I won’t go TOO crazy :)
this stuff is gooooood!
:) That’s good to know. And thanks!
I’ll have to send it next week, after I get home from FL though. There’s just too much to do to get ready to go, & I know I won’t make it to the PO today (leaving before they open).
