November Sipdown Prompt – an oolong tea
Sipdown
We have had this twice lately, western style. It definitely gets a chance to show off more when prepared gong fu but is a very good tea either way.
On the first sip, I found myself singing “the last cup is the sweetest” to the tune of Rod Stewart’s “The First Cut Is The Deepest.” Anyone else experience that phenomenon where you are finishing a tea and the last bit is so good you want to re-order it immediately? I will restrain myself a while as I am not even close to my cupboard goal for the year. But there will have to be some Dong Ding ordered before next fall.
I remember finishing my last couple grams of Wild Lapsang from Wuyi Origin and realizing this tea needed to continue being in my life. I was patient enough to wait for the sale, though. :)
