Thank god there are no such thing as tea overdose cause I’d be so dead by now.
This tea is ambitious, it has climbed the “corporate ladder” of tea like a bullet in my collection and went straight to the top.
I have a well established tea routine, there’s only a few that have really “made it”. they’ve been sitting on my shelve, very confident for many years now, knowing they have had no real competition. And then this newbie came along and has made them all nervous. All of a sudden, they wonder if they are good enough…
I will have to reassure them and let them know they are…eventually.
But right now, it’s all about this one.
I look at the other tins, but I can’t help it, Ailaoshan is like “pick me, oh pick me” and I just know I will.
Sweet and salty caramel, cocoa, fruity-floral notes, dried figs, there are so many layers of complex components in this tea.
It might be a newcomer, but I already know it’s not a one hit wonder, it’s well on its way to becoming a classic!
Bumping the rating to 100!

This is an awesome review :)
And I think you’ll be glad to hear I have some of this on the way…and by some I mean a LOT. ;)
Added to my wishlist for my first Whispering Pines order!
Yay, good to know…means I can go through the 4oz I just got worry free :-)
(Inranger, you might want to add a couple more WP teas to that wish list of yours!)
Yay!
I think you are right TeaFairy, I’ve been noticing a buzz about Whispering Pines but haven’t taken notice of any specific teas until now. Any suggestions for my list?
Inranger, I will PM you :-)
