this was my work tea for a good week or so. It’s an incredibly aromatic floral bomb and can withstand extended cold brewing, if one is so inclined. I pushed it for 3 days just to see before I was tired and finally tossed it. There’s also honeyed and fruity notes throughout, but those fade after a while. So why the “was”? Something about it is oddly … strong. Part of the problem is that I have no scale at work, so I’ve been guessing and have probably been overdoing it. At any rate, I was feeling a sort of dread continually in the mornings and afternoons and connected it back to this and drinking on anything other than a full stomach. And like any old gen Z loser, I am generally stressed about something or other. But I don’t generally feel strong anxiety that I can’t trace back to anything specific. Excess caffeine always brings jitters and never anxiety. I’m on hiatus with this for the time being.
Not worth keeping tea that induces a sense of dread. Typically happens to me with perfumey floral teas, some sheng and shou pu’er, harsh black teas and crappy rock oolong. Could be pesticide or chem related (applied or naturally occurring in the leaf), could be processing.
It’s kind of a shame, since I’ve not really had other white teas that I’d try and intentionally reach for so often afterwards.
