Resteep with the leaves from last night. Not sure why, but I wasn’t feeling much like tea yesterday aside from with meals. Today I’m back to wanting lots again.
This is actually wonderful resteeped. The first cup has a sharp, green taste like fresh coconut but this is much mellower and sweeter. It has a creaminess to it not present in the first cup. I can definitely taste an oolong base (although I’ve never had straight pouchong), and overall it’s refreshing.
Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.
I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
