Not surprisingly, this one is also delicious cold-brewed . :) I’m getting mostly vegetal and floral notes, like alfalfa hay and spinach and some kind of flower (note to self: go around smelling alll the flowers until you can identify those floral notes). Also some butter and nutty… walnut? notes. It’s quite refreshing. I went on a big oolong kick back in the spring, and then I kind of took a break from them for a while, but I think they’ll be common cold brews this summer.
This is You :-D

Bio
Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)
I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.
I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.
For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.
My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
