From West China Tea Company

Shu Ya Bao (熟芽苞, Shú Yá Bāo, “Ripened Buds”) – This herbal tea is the culmination of a long-time dream for us.

I nearly lost my mind checking the price of this herbal tea ($85 USD for 100g). Yikes! It was overall a light flavor profile. I had enough material from the subscription to brew this twice. Once, I gongfu’d the leaf, and it was a muted tea experience. There was very little flavor. Second, I let the tea sit in boiling water + refrigerated 24-hours. The notes below are from the later of the two sessions.

Aroma: Yeast, bread dough (raw, unbaked), & pine.

Texture: Thick

Tasting Notes: Not very strong, but there are hints of pine nuts, white bread, oats, & flour.

Flavors: Bread Dough, Oats, Pine
