Silver Yeti

Gongfu Sipdown (2617)!

This was kindly gifted to me by my very sweet tea friend gabbydrinkstea, and since I’m finally starting to feel well again, I was excited to dive into it!! First things first, it’s quite naturally sweet tasting with more of a fruity profile than I’d expected from such a bud heavy white tea. It’s not that white tea buds don’t typically have a fruity element to their taste, but this one was very, very bright and citrusy all throughout the session. There were also more expected soft notes of freshly whipped cream, corn silk, and Timothy hay but I just kept circling back to the wonderfully sunny and sweet lemon curd profile that felt so vibrant and joyful on my palate. I think the fact that the liquor itself had a fuller, thick sort of texture definitely did a lot to bolster the richness of the lemon flavour and that may have been why I kept interpreting it as curd-like. Well, that and the rich and airy cream notes – which were, in a way, like a meringue capping off each sip.
