I’m trying to make more of an effort to drink ALL OF THE TEAS in my collection. The other day Sil made a comment about me having teas from 2012. Which I initially denied.
Guess what, tea sister, you’re right! LOL!
So, I’ve had this wonderful tea for 3 years. It’s awesomeness led me to hoard a ridiculous quantity of it. This is the very Oolong that inspired me to purchase my first yixing, and although other Wuyi oolongs get to have their turn in that tiny teapot, it was seasoned with this one, and will forever be dedicated to this one, until I run out…some sad day…
And it is just as wonderful as ever!
The dry aroma is of roasted barley & fruitiness…drop it into a preheated yixing and let it sit in there a few minutes to warm the leaf and it’s dark chocolate & raspberries, so heady and thick that I could just sit there huffing it forever…sigh…
Drinking it is pure delight…sweet, thick, with lingering tastes of berries, chocolate, and roastiness. And that incense like after-aroma in the sinuses. And a good tea buzz.
and in the later steeps, the waters of a Sacred Spring, lightly flavored, almost effervescent…
I have accomplished nothing today except breakfast & tea…I need to do SOMETHING!

This sounds lovely!
I am also trying to drink all the teas from my collection but it’s so hard when there are clear favourites.
Exactly! Also, in the case of teas like this, sometimes I seem to avoid drinking them because I don’t ever want them to be gone. Which is stupid, really…
I’m sure I have some that are more than 3 years old ;)
“I have accomplished nothing today except breakfast & tea…”
There are days when I have no specific agenda where I consider having breakfast and tea a win, because it means I got out of bed :)
