Turmeric is my favorite herb. The dry powder smells round and spicy. When used, it can change from astringency to sweetness when cooked long enough. The color tints whatever it touches.
My teas don’t have to be like that, but the interpretation of bitter as sweetness has powerful, lasting effects. It is what motivates me to explore and expand my palate.
I love Taiwan oolong. Aged stuff seems to be better for me, and I am exploring ripe puerh. As can be surmised, I like to push teas though sometimes, the tea ends up pushing me. Seven or eight entries per tea depending on aging and how much I have.
