Another huge thank you to Teavivre for this sample. I’ve already ordered more, that’s how good this was. When I opened the inside packaging (I love the way they package their tea) I really like how malty yet sweet this tea smelled. The color of the leaves was really pretty too. It smelled sweet as it was steeping too. Almost like it had been infused with honey.
I love the hint of malty flavor (almost like an Assam, yet different) I’m getting while I sip this. Again there is also a little sweetness to this tea too (I didn’t add anything – it doesn’t need it). This is my second cup with fresh leaves (someone threw out my first batch :cough: husband :cough:. So I hope this one re-steeps as well as some have noted. I can’t wait to get my order. This is one I have to have in my tea cabinet!

I did the same thing. I have the 100g on its way to my place. :)
I wish I had a husband who attempted cleaning up every now and then. Mine doesn’t seem to notice messes at all. But tossing leaves before a second steep? At least I don’t have to worry about that. You win some you lose some. :)
@Tabby, I have 100 grams on the way too or maybe I got a little more. I can’t recall, I just knew I had to buy some!
@Mercurychime yes I was not pleased, but he did clean up so ooopsie.
I like their packaging, too. It keeps the teas from scenting each other in transit. This one sounds good…I believe I read that the tea bushes in Yunnan Province are assamica varietals, so that may explain the malty notes.
Thanks for the heads up on why this tasted like an Assam to me! I really enjoyed this one. It also did not make me as jittery as some Assam teas have. Double points for that.
