Went to the Phoenix Collection/Tea Museum this weekend with some friends and did tea tastings with the owner, David Hoffman. It was such a cool experience and I wrote more about it a in a tea room review. This was one of about a dozen teas I sampled and wrote quick notes about on my phone.
This tea is appropriately named! I’m not sure if the tea is named after the taste or if the taste is invoked by the name, but it tastes like a cool forest river… served hot. It has an earthy sediment like taste and reminds me of water in a redwood forest. It definitely wasn’t a tea I wanted to take home, but it was really interesting to try!
