Thanks to Sil for this sample!!
It smells just like these Polish pretzel snacks I grew up on. Soon as I sniffed the cup, I knew it’d be tasty. Oh man is it ever a trip back to childhood.
Bready and sweet, this is pretty much a warm liquid pretzel (not the salted kind, obviously haha)
I think I oversteeped just a little bit, and despite that, I am in heaven.
Will be keeping my eye out for these packets at the grocery :)

Yum. That sounds really good.

Indigobloom

seriously, I downed that cup so fast… guh I want moar… I wonder how it resteeps

Sil

Well I have more….just remind me. These are the china ones.

Indigobloom

So good!! Have you tried it yet?

Sil

haha i haven’t tried a single tea i brought back from china yet. it’s kind of sad really…

Indigobloom

whaaaaat? lol

TastyBrew

Sil – You have any extra for a fellow pretzel lover?

Kittenna

Hmm. Might have to try mine of this today… sounds really tasty! What were your infusion parameters, so I don’t screw mine up? :P

Indigobloom

My timer didn’t start as intended so I’m not sure how much I oversteeped by. I’m guessing it was in there for about five or six min. I dumped the entire packet into my infuser, and it was a regular sized mug.

Sil

Tastybrew – send me a PM. I’m sure we can do a mini swap, pretty sure i have a bunch of these left but will have to check tonight

TastyBrew

Can you follow me? I’ll send you a pm with my swapping list.

Sil

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
