Oh yum. Yum yum yum.
Ok, this is the tea I got for contributing to Eco-Cha’s Indiegogo campaign (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/promote-sustainability-get-great-tea). Basically the entire inaugural harvest was sold to the campaign contributors, so I don’t think it’s possible to buy this particular tea from Eco-Cha. But I bet there will be future harvests!
As a $50 contributor I also got a little clay gongfu teapot. I cracked open the vacuum-packed bag to get some tea to use for teapot seasoning, and couldn’t resist brewing some up Western-style while I wait. :)
This is a really lovely light oolong. The scent of the dry tea is quite mild – slightly vegetal and surprisingly sweet. Brewed, the liquor is light yellow and it smells amazingly fresh, sweet, and slightly floral. I definitely get flavours of baked squash, and light notes of toasted grains. The aftertaste is indeed lingering and delicious. I’m so happy to have some of this tea. :)
Flavors: Butternut Squash, Floral, Grain, Sweet, Toasted
