Finishing the last of my Verdant Yunnan White Jasmine tea that I had squirreled away for a day when I needed a real treat. My last few grams reminded me why I love this tea so much. Creamy, floral, and rich without being heavy. A perfect light cup to start this humid, warm morning. Every steep a revelation of flavors.
I have been drinking tea for most of my life, and enjoy learning about Tea Culture from all around the world. I learned early about Russian and British traditions first, since my parents came from Europe, followed by the teas and culture of Ceylon/Sri Lanka and India. Since I have been a practicing Buddhist for the better part of 25 years, I have strong ties to Asia, and have slowly been learning about the teas from each part of the world I encounter. It is a wonderful and interesting journey.
