Rishi Tea

A still juicy, straw-fresh cup, with a bit of strawberry and some peach. So easy drinking.

This held on for three solid steeps before giving out. I’ve been having trouble honing in on the best steeping times and water temps, but think this particular example is pretty flexible. Light and juicy. Very nice.

Tried this out at the local Whole Foods. Very tasty and fruity – just what I’m in the mood for! Went well with the Indian food I was eating.

Finished this up today! Farewell Houjicha! Sad but a part of me is happy I’m finished with another can of tea! It’s incredible how much tea I’ve accumulated over the past few months-years. This one was a nice roasted green. Very warm nutty and toasty in flavor, and it lent itself to blending very well. I often liked mixing this with lemongrass, like today! I steeped this 3 times in a big mug. I might venture to purchase this again one day, but not anytime soon.

Steeped this for 2.5 minutes. Smells nutty and warm! This is great to sip on while snuggled under a warm blanket.

I wanted something warm and toasted so I reached out for this one. So good!

Nice.

Working on pot #2 at Common Roots

Yummy light green tea with a hint of toasty undertones. I’m actually almost out of this, need to get some more soon!

I’ve tried this a few times and today was probably my best experience with it. You can smell the cardamom and ginger from pretty far away, and the spice is there, but not overpowering. It tastes slightly medicinal, but not necessarily in a bad way if it that makes any sense at all.

Ah Golden Yunnan, I can always count on your malty goodness.
