“Taiwan #1 Shan Zinxz”
I think this was from one of LP’s past events? The little baggy only had a sticker that said “Taiwan 1” on it. I think it could be a mystery sample kind of thing. I am not sure where it is from, exactly. If anyone knows anything, I’m very fond of this tea and want to buy more, so let me know.

This is a really fantastic. Strong malty, sweet, honey. After taste of grain and brown sugar. I want to say there are some suggestions of chocolate, but I’m not sure because its in the background. Lots of honey. Yeah, it smells like milk chocolate, so I’m going to say there are some chocolatey tones. More similar to a chocolate muffin or chocolate loaf rather than actual chocolates.

Flavors: Bread, Brown Sugar, Chocolate, Grain, Honey, Malt, Sweet, Tea

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 14 OZ / 400 ML

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
