This is definitely my favorite Dian Hong, but I think the previous harvest I tasted was a bit better than this batch (this batch was ordered perhaps a year ago). I ordered more recently because no other Dian Hong comes close to this. This tea is amazingly sweet and smooth and complex. Yum. :-)
Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.
Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.
I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
