Started my morning by steeping up Volition Tea’s new whiskey barrel aged oolong, Drunken Dragon, paired with some of the most delicious (albeit “extra”) shortbread I’ve ever had. The oolong was smooth and sultry with a distinct profile rye whiskey and oak that blankets a solid foundation of grilled peaches, spring flowers, and clean and crisp minerality. I adore that there’s practically equal emphasis on the bouquet of aromatics as there is on the taste – it’s just a delight to the senses!! And of course, I’d be remiss not to acknowledge how well the bright candied orange on the shortbread from Maa Maa Dei pairs with the whisky and stonefruit notes of this scented tea. Just wow!!

This is the third year I’ve partook in Volition Tea’s Lunar New Year box, and I’ve had nothing short of an exceptional experience each time! The curation of tea always feels so spot on, and the pieces of teaware from Monsoon Pottery are nothing short of works of practical art. This has definitely become a tradition for me – one that I would highly recommend to other tea drinkers and that I hope Annie will continue for years to come!
