This one’s for you, Foxy!!!
Method: 3.3 g, 3 oz, 200 degrees, 10 sec rinse, 10-15-20-25 seconds, ru kiln gaiwan, all 4 steeps blended into one mug
Dry Leaf Aroma: smells like a fruity cave
Brewing Aroma: did someone sneak into my house in the night and scent all my shengs with apricot? Sneaky monkey! Also leather (yay!) and forest
Flavor: leather fruit! Not fruit leather, but leather fruit. This is also sweet and has a toasty finish. Wasn’t expecting that. I love you, sheng!!!!!
And now we hike, through the woods, drunk on shengy leather fruit, hunting for the wild blueberry. Onward!

Awww, thank you for dedicating your first Wild Monk session to meeeee! I feel so honoured!!!
And I will search for the leather fruits next time :-)
Also, I get lots of apricot/peachy notes in white tea and sheng, so I got the sneaky monkeys too!
<3
Don’t tell anyone, but I just bought another cake of this.
Damn. Did I say that out loud?
(Hahaha! Well pretty face, know that there are 2 in my cart at the moment…)
tsk tsk tsk
If I didn’t think they were running out, I would have waited. But the thought of life without this just seems sad.
:p Kaylee.. I need adult supervision.
We just finished picking some wineberries and blackberries yesterday, so good luck hope you find a bunch.
(There’s none around here Sars…i’m talking about adults…)
Yay for berries!
While I’m in FL, I’m sure the Cardinals, Jays, & other birds in my yard are happily picking my blackberries & raspberries for me.
Oh tea peeps! We did great today! We got about 4 cups of wild blueberries and huckleberries.
I’m going to make some NST with some, and the rest will become wine!
Wineberries should be in their prime next weekend, so that will be our Sunday project. We don’t have a really great spot for blackberries, but there’s a spot we’ve heard of, so we are checking it out next week on Monday.
I love berry season! Hooray for Mother Nature!!!!
I bought another cake of this tea because the 2012 is close to selling out. The black raspberries in my yard are huge this year due to all the rain this summer.
I need more money in my play pal account, so I can buy more tea
Cwyn: that is why I broke my strict tea probation
Terri: I need mine shut down. For real. :p
Sars, I just need to become more famous, at least online :)
Yep and yep! Gotta get the good stuff while the getting is good!
