I rediscovered this tea a few weeks ago after neglecting it for a long time. That happens when you have more tea than you really should have at one time.
When my daughter started college, she mentioned that one of her professors was drinking tea. I got excited and told her to ask their preferences and I sent tea goodie bags to them.
This semester she saw her Trig professor drinking tea, and knew I would want to send him something. She saw that he was using sachets and asked what he liked. He said that his mother-in-law had given him a lot of tea and Revolution was the best he had come across.
I wrote a little note about how to steep it and sent this one along to him. He told her at the next class that it was AMAZING. Next I am hoping to lead him to the loose leaf side.
Now I am trying to drink a lot of this so I can get a fresh batch. It tastes like the spray that hits your face when you peel an orange or tangerine, not like orange candy. The white tea has a decent amount of body to make this enjoyable, and I like to make it the way they do at PF Chang. Leave the sachet in the tetsubin for about three minutes, pour into cups, and immediately add more hot water. That next steep is a little forgiving but I don’t like just leaving it in like they do at the restaurant. The second steep is really quite good.
I love how you’re getting her professors hooked on good tea!
