Santa left some tea treats in my stocking (but he looks an awful lot like my husband): some fancy-pants oolong from The Jade Leaf, a proprietor I had never checked out. They kindly chucked in a couple of additional samples; one of which is this lanky, long-leafed beauty—leaves almost too long to fit horizontally in the little steeping basket I used.
Its flavor personality is distinctly fruity—imagine you crossed a Darjeeling (which this is not) with peaches and plums. A lovely afternoon treat while soaking up some much-needed winter sunshine.
