Holy. Moly.
I pulled out a sample of 1980’s heicha that I got as a special surprise in my last order from O5 Tea. Somehow I missed this one when I was trying the other samples they sent a few months back. They don’t sell this online and it may not be for sale at all, but maaaaannn… it’s super.
The wet leaves smell like candy, almost a little violetish, but with some warmer caramely notes also. Really intriguing.
The dry leaf looks a bit like the fungus teas I love so much, but I did not see any golden flowers. The brewed tea smells like something I know, but can’t quite place. And the taste… really unique. I’m having a really hard time describing the flavors, so I’ll just go with: yum, noms, eeeeee! and happy of happiness. I wish I could get more of this one!

Mmmmmm, all the tea companies want to seduce you with their “private” reserve, that’s how charming you are ;-)

No way. Everyone knows that the fairy can charm anything out of anyone!
Is the ‘Holy. Moly’ your first impression or something that came later?
This tea was awesome from the start of the dry leaves, through the end of the sip. Holy Moly all the way!
