“Grandpa. I liked it this way — didn’t feel like I was missing out on too much versus a full gong fu. No bitter. Nice classic oolong note, which I was craving after green/black/puer experiments this...” Read full tasting note
“Sipdown! It’s alright but not generally what I look for in my green oolong or natural jin xuan types. It has an almost “light roast” veggie quality that’s not quite working for me here (like bitter...” Read full tasting note

Description

Tastes Like: meyer lemon curd, fresh grass, linen
Feels Like: driving down the californian coast

Few drives have the gentle drama of the route winding along the 101 highway from Los Angeles to Montecito and beyond. Once you cross the border into Ventura County, the city chaos fades away, leaving your body lighter with each inhale of crisp saline air. The summer breeze whips your hair in tune with rolling hills and marvelous ocean views. The sunlight glints playfully along the waves. This tea is mellow and slightly sweet as green oolongs go. Chilling this tea softens the buttery character to produce notes of wildflower honey, lemon verbena, and sweet clover. The bright citrus notes and undercurrent of sweet freshly cut grass in this tea summon the freedom of the open road and the spirit of easy breezy summer days.

A tea for lazy mornings and meandering afternoons.
