Ultra-premium golden Yunnan tea, blend it with lemon peel and natural whiskey-, lemon- and maraschino cherry flavors. This is all of the Yunnan I have, so when this is gone, it’s GONE.

Yesterday was a rough day for me, and last night I didn’t get much sleep. I’m lucky I had a bag of this in my stash at work because I really need something to get me going this morning.
I’m sipping away on a huge tumbler of this blend over ice, and it’s really growing on me. It’s strong but not overpowering. It’s malty and a bit smoky but not alarmingly so. I’m still not getting much cherry flavor, if anything it provides a slight sweetness that balances the citrus. The citrus, though, is wonderfully sour in the best possible way.
It reminds me of being in a dimly lit speakeasy-gastropub. The kind that hipsters flock to in droves. The kind that serves nothing but Prohibition era cocktails and reimagined, and often, deconstructed versions of entrees you’d find in a Swanson TV dinner (mmm meatloaf!), and the house jazz band plays Top 40 hits. I’m not saying I’ve been to these sort of places. I’m not a cool cat. That’s how I envision them.
I digress, this tea has proved to be a very comforting cuppa this morning. I’m happy I’ve got another large bag squirreled away at home.
Sounds amazing. Hope your week gets better!
It’s a pretty tasty cuppa. Thank you for the kind words! :)
I love this review. Aside from the rough day and lack of sleep.
Thank you. ;)
