I got this from TeaTiff in our swap: thank you so much! I was very impressed by what I tried from Shang in the recent TTB and am so excited to try more.
This one is a surprisingly savory one. There are a lot of grain and bread notes, with a slight undertone of dark chocolate. This is another really solid tea! I’ll be resteeping it to see how it goes, because the package says it can be resteeped up to four times.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
