This may supercede milk oolong as my favorite tea. This tea is absolutely scrumptious. I oversteeped this deliberately to make it more flavorful, and the second steeping was just as strong. I didn’t try for a third steeping because it was long past bedtime at that point.
The flavor of this is fantastic. Smooth, and almost silky. The jasmine is subtle and complements the white tea. It’s a very nice tea. I love it.
I’m a tea-aholic. I’ve always loved tea. It is soothing and warm and comforting. I always had it when we went out to eat as a child so my first association is with rich and delicious food.
As an adult, I’m learning to enjoy tea on its own merits, and bask in its subtleties and varieties. The ritual of making a cup of tea is instantly relaxing.
I prefer oolong and white teas, followed by greens. For the most part, I don’t like straight black tea, but appreciate it as part of a blend or flavored. I’ve learned to love the world of flavored teas out there.
I’m slowly learning to appreciate rooibos blends, which I started drinking for its anti-inflammatory properties.
