This was in a little packet from derk and I’m overdue giving it a go. But green tea always makes me feel like spring and the thaw has begun—it’s a play-in-the-snow-in-your-shirtsleeves afternoon with full-on sunshine. I can feel the solar battery in the back of my neck recharging.
Ok, enough fluff. How’s the tea?
Delicious! The leaves were big and fat and had a “fresh from the farm” look to them; too long for my spoon, so I measured in pinches instead. Two of those in a large-ish mug and a three minute steep yielded a tawny gold, almost sugary cup with a personality more like citrus rind and pith than green beans or spinach.
High marks for this one—and from a bog-standard black tea barbarian, that’s saying something.
(Incidentally, they don’t normally sell online, but it looks like they may be making a temporary exception: https://fairhopeteaplantation.com/special-offer/)

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!
Second steep was just as tasty!
Still avaiting for a wee warmer day for dig into green tea. Black tea is more matching the weather outside.
The official Pennsylvania groundhog saw his shadow, but in Missouri (if we had one) no shadows were around on February 2, so in our part of the world, spring should be “just around the corner.” I’ll believe it when I see it. In recent years, we’re still freezing in April!
