drank Ti Kuan Yin by Adagio Teas
1389 tasting notes

Day 11 of DIY Adagio advent calendar (yes, I’m still working on finishing some of my advent calendars!). Tragically, my variable temperature kettle seems to have kicked the bucket. I ended up heating water in a pot on the stove and ladling it into my mug, because the weather is chilly and obviously I can’t go a few days without hot tea!

This brewed up decent! It’s got that mineral and roasty note typical of a TGY. There’s a very strong marine note, like a seaweed broth, which seems unusual for a TGY. It’s not bad, necessarily, just not entirely what I’d expect for this type of tea.
