Gongfu!
After my two little mini sessions we switched back to Marika steeping up some Camellia Sinensis selections. I realized as I was enjoying my first cup that I’m pretty sure I had never tried the Oriental Beauty from CS prior – which is surprisingly given how much of their oolong selection I have explored through. It was impressive though, and I think in particular we all were blown away by just how sweet and floral the first infusion was. Really tasted like fresh white grapes, lychee, and beautiful Spring flowers but with a more mineral and slightly roasted undertone to pull you back from the aromatic top notes and ground you.
