Happy New Year! After following Mei Leaf and listening to their Youtube talks for many years, I’ve finally put my foot down and bought some tea. Oh boy, does that smell good! There is some serious sweetness flowing off these leaves. Stone fruits, mangos, some passion fruit, peaches. Ooo peach cobbler. And those buds are just amazing. Silver hairs, soft, and light green.
My first thought was slight white pepper. Sweetened pepper like you’d find in a chai. Pure cane sugar. But I like that it still has those traditional (in my opinion) white tea notes of barnyard in the background. Piled leaves, bales of hay, and tall summer grass. Smooth mouth feel. The aftertaste is incredible. Like I ate a sugar cube. I’ve never had such a sweet sensation without eating actual sugar.
Now just a note for the new year. It’s good to hope and look for the best but also important to realize that… sh*t happens. And how we handle that sh$t is just as important. I say this because I see more and more people losing their selves while driving to things that are so silly. Seen too many die because of it too. Let’s stop this now. Raise a glass to patience.

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.

I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
