My mom brought home this tea the other day for the two of us to enjoy together. I steeped it today and in a big white teapot and used my favorite cups (the ones I will be using for the tea ceremony) for serving it. The tea has lovely aromatics of peach and earth. We enjoyed this tea together in our living room, sitting by the fireplace and looking out the window at the falling rain. The first sip did not have the traditional full-bodied, borderline floral flavor, but more of a dark tea with an essence of peach. As I continued to drink, the oolong flavor built and left a nice aftertaste. Overall, it was really lovely with a slight tang. We enjoyed it and the togetherness it brought us.
