Sip down if it counts. I found an 8g sample packet that was in the sip down pile. It’s odd since W2T samples are usually in 25g sample sizes, unless this was from a club or randomly obtained during a free sample with a purchase.
This will be the last tea for the weekend. The time went too quickly, as it always does. It doesn’t seem to matter if I get the normal 2 days or 4 days off; it’ll move too fast, anyway. Big sigh. This isn’t the most extravagant shou I’ve had in all my life, but it’s “old reliable” for a reason. It hits in such a way that a shou ought to. It has a light earthiness which reminds me of a lightly roasted coffee or an unwashed (why anyone would eat it) mushroom. There’re the flavors one expects to enjoy in shou and learn to appreciate. The cup offers a smooth and relaxing experience. And it’s not a warming cup (thankfully, for I didn’t want to regret spending time with a tea which makes me sweat. It could help that I have the a/c on 65F, too). Either way, it’s a solid brew and I’m happy to have this 8g sipped and enjoyed for the final brew over the weekend.
