Just finished a tea share and it was certainly a welcome and unique addition. I’ve never had purple wild, and it had a very interesting flavor profile. Leaf packets as expected – deep purple in about 1/3 of leaves. Aroma, even of the dry, is extremely pungent fruity. First steep was heavy sweet fruity – something like lychee/mangosteen and grassy. Medium mouthfeel. Aftertaste continued the trend with more lychee and less grass. Second steep was waning in flavor, and the third was very light.

Flavors: Grass, Lychee, Mineral

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 5 OZ / 150 ML

I fell in love with the tea leaf when teaching English in Korea. I’m fond of over-steeping young shengs, and my friends are quite bitter about it. I also like puns.
