Today is the first day of my “diet”. I really hate that word. I’m not looking to lose weight for vanity reasons. I just am not in the market to replace my clothing and I haven’t been eating the healthiest foods recently, and I’d like to get back to eating more fruits, vegetables, nuts and fewer potato chips and soy ice cream. I mention all of this because after drinking 2 cups of this today, I felt like I had just had a double espresso. I’m not sure if it was this tea in particular or it was the caffeine combined the fact that I’d eaten very little today. Who knows.

I was surprised by the savoriness of this tea’s aroma and flavor. I expected it to be much sweeter (based on nothing because I hadn’t read anything about this one since I ordered it). I enjoyed this very much, but I drank it out of Lifefactory bottle, so I couldn’t get a lot of the aroma. Rating may be changed after I enjoy a proper cup or gong fu session with this.

Good luck. I have been going through a similar change in eating habits (New Years’ resolution) for the past few weeks and I already feel better.

I had Zhu Rong today as well for my ride to the climbing gym… good stuff…it is rather nice brewed gong fu…today I brewed it in my little kyusu and did 3 quick infusions into a big cup,it came out well…I think it would be really hard to make this tea taste bad…good luck to on changing your eating habits…you can do it…

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!
