Gongfu!
This was a beautifully smooth, fresh, and aromatic blend right from the start with delicate but complex notes of coconut water, lilac, honeysuckle, lily, sugar snaps and pea blossoms, pandan, and fresh linens. The lily, coconut, and dewy sweet pea blossom notes in particular really stand out across each steep of the sessio. Super clean finishing and just really, really nice quality. A great way to begin the day on a positive note!!

Wow! This is the first time I’ve heard mention of pandan as a flavor present in teas! I actually have a jar of pandan powder. And once upon a time considered growing some as a house plant and as a source of the fresh leaf. However, I soon wearied of the flavor profile and have not been using it. Mostly, I dislike the green color though. Pandan contains the same chemical that is responsible for the unique aroma of basmati rice. Unfortunately, it also contains other umami flavors and aromas that are less appealing to me. but now I wonder if adding a pinch of pandan leaf to other teas, which have become somewhat stale, might help liven them up? Any suggestions?
