BREAKING NEWS! I have slowly but surely been converting my mom into a tea drinker. About a month ago when I first started getting really into tea and discovered Steepster, I would ask my mom if she wanted a sip of whatever I was exploring. She would politely decline and stick with her usual coffee. Eventually curiosity got the best of her and she started taking a few sips at a time. Fast forward to tonight when I got home she casually asked if I was planning on having some tea. I said I probably wouldn’t and she basically demanded that I brew her up her own cup, haha! I’m still exploring teas and now I have someone to try with me (until I move back to Boston at least). Sorry for the rambling, I just wanted to revel in my proud moment there.
Now that storytime is over, I have found myself reaching for this tea more frequently these days almost as a palate cleanser. It’s reliable, clean, light, less caffeinated, and delicious. It can get slightly bitter if I don’t keep my eye on it, but still drinkable. As I’m exploring teas, I have come across some that I don’t like as much, so it’s always nice to have a cup of White Orchard to renew my faith and keep me going.
PS Whole Foods was having a 50% off sale on Mighty Leaf bagged teas, so I’ve basically stockpiled this tea. Yay!
