Sipdown no. 8 of 2025, 10g sample.
I enjoyed this but I have a feeling that if I steeped with more optimal parameters, it would turn from jasmine-with-black-tea to floral-fancy-Peruvian-cocoa in a cup. It certainly smelled that way in a heated gaiwan. Would like to order another sample sometime and pay more attention to different brewing temperatures.
Australian tea drinker from Sydney.
I enjoy all kinds of tea except rooibos. Black and roasted oolongs are my true lovers while green tea makes me a little dizzy. Pu-erh I have yet to explore, despite being gifted several cakes. On the look-out for a great herbal tea and also getting the matcha madness.
Have yet to add everything to my Steepster cupboard, but would be interested in an Australian tea swap in the future!
The variety here is not as extensive as other places due to import regulations and the cost of shipping but I own and like stuff from Harney & Sons, Lupicia, T2, Teavivre, Butiki, Mariage Freres, Verdant, Yunnan Sourcing and Whispering Pines Tea Company.
