When first drinking this tea the best way to enjoy it is gongfu style (with a gaiwan or tea pot) with the aroma cups. These leaves are very strong; to persuade the best flavors and aroma out of this tea use boiling or nearly boiling water (100C).
I first poured the tea into the aroma cups and allow it to soak for a few seconds. Next, I poured it into the drinking cups and placed my nose into the aroma cup allowing the slightly roasty and floral aroma to fill my nose. Wait a few seconds (allow it to cool off a bit) and smell it again. I noted a creamy brown sugar. It is amazing how you can get the most wonderfully unique smells and tastes just from tea!
I have 1 bag (about 150g) for $40 (first come first serve), and I am taking orders for Spring. Get in contact with me @ greenleafteabar@gmail.com to order or for a sample (I currently have limited winter samples available; first come first serve)
I will announce when Spring Tea is on the way.
Later this week: Black Tea! (and yes, it is Taiwanese)
