An oldie in a bag with hand-written instructions that I followed: 2 tsp, 185F, 2min. This tea served as a single calibration point for how Nepali teas age. The lone review of this tea is from 4 years ago.

The “zesty taste of orange blossoms” is definitely still there along with a sad perfumey taste. The tea body is light and has a fun, tannic astringency. The base tastes seem to have evaporated. I’m left with hints of wood and malt weaving through the wateriness. Love me some Nepali teas and I’m sure I would have bought this fresh.

Tea habits:

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
