This is a really nice tea. The picture on the Whispering Pines website makes the tea look like a yellowish color, but the leaves are in actuality a dark, fresh green color. The aroma and flavor is mild but very pleasing and fresh. You’ll notice my emphasis on “fresh”. I often find that green teas taste a bit sour/past their prime, but this was wonderful and sweet.
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!
