New Tasting Notes
My go-to tea while I’m at work! Iced in the summer, or nice and warm when I’m needing that calm cozy feeling. The lemon and spearmint perk my cup up nicely without being obnoxious- a welcome change from downing cheap coffee all morning. (Can I say that on a tea site?)
This is surprisingly smoky to me, with a strong waft of tar and pitch on the back end of the tea. I almost want to say this was stored in a old Lapsang container, it has that same dry quality. However, I would be surprised if Tao did that. Otherwise, it does have some vegetal spinach-like character and heavy charcoal. Maybe not my favorite.
