Advent Calendar Day 21

The dry leaf of this tea is so beautiful! Long, twisty dark leaves interspersed with whole dried tea blossoms. Though I believe this is technically a puerh, the flavor reminded me more of an oolong. Very smooth, with floral and honey notes and just a touch of astringency that kept me coming back for more. This was a very special tea experience and brightened up my last Monday in the office before Christmas! Thanks again to Amanda for these fun daily surprises all month.

Flavors: Floral, Flowers, Honey, Smooth

Bio

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~ C.S. Lewis

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.

My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.

Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
