The funny name was enough to catch my attention but the taste is not enough for it to stand out much. For those who like to drink tea that is not over powering or bitter, this would be good for you. It has a simple taste that would remind me of maybe oolong.
Picked this tea up at a local Asian Market. I like to try the various teas the market sells and since I’m sick in bed I thought I’d give the tea a go due to its claim to help build chi.
The suggest brew is boiling water then steeping for 10-15 minutes. I opted to use 190 degree water steeping for 15 minutes. I was a little nervous, initially, that I would draw out a bitter flavor with that long of a steep, but there was none.
The aroma is very subtle, but I picked up on slight hints of herbs and licorice. The flavor, is, also, very subtle. While I caught a bit of herb and fruit, my palate couldn’t identify them specifically.
While the tea was subtle, I didn’t find the need to add milk or sugar to it which is nice as I’m not feeling well today.
I have so many subtle teas that I enjoy that I’m not sure I need more, so I’m not sure how often I would buy this, but it is one I would buy again.
Flavors: Fruity, Herbs, Licorice
