Gongfu!
Late morning tea session from this past Saturday. I missed snagging this dancong the first year BLT carried it so I jumped on the 2020 production, and it’s not disappointed me!! This is one of those teas you buy because of the name but that you are, of course, skeptical of – I mean, how much can it really taste like ice cream!? Turns out the answer is a lot!! The soft and buttery texture of the steeps give way to a creamy and slightly saline infusion with the sweetness and nuttiness to pretty convincingly match up with BLT’s “salted caramel ice cream” descriptor; albeit with a clean floral finish!
Since I was reading John Green’s recently released book/collection of essays, The Anthropocene Reviewed, I think it’s only fair to rate this in the spirit of the book. So, I give Double Scoop 4/5 stars.
