Serious need of a boost today! Too drained to even preface the blog post with something mildly interesting. Help me tea! <\/p>\n
Dry<\/strong>: Woodsy, green, slightly floral and a bit sweet. The leaves are sticky. They almost look kind of candied.<\/p>\n Brewing<\/strong>: Wabi Sabi Teapot, one sample pack per 8oz water, 212*F, 1m30s<\/p>\n Aroma<\/strong>: Woodsy, vegetal, honeyed. It’s ever so slightly floral. Almost hard to find the floral.<\/p>\n Flavor<\/strong>: I don’t think I’ve ever had a flavored TGY before and I’m not quite sure what to make of it. My initial thoughts are that I like it, so that’s a good start. I taste the TGY – a little woodsy, a little vegetal… not getting any floral notes though. Well, I do… but they’re hard to find. The floral notes were minimal in the aroma and have even less presence in the liquor. I also taste the honey, which is I think what’s masking the floral bit. The honey really gives it a warmer taste and thicker texture. Not quite syrupy, just thicker, heavier. The honey texture is left lingering on the tongue and the aftertaste is pleasant.<\/p>\n On the second steep it’s not as sweet. The standard TGY flavors are more dominant with the honey as a softer accent.<\/p>\n Hmm. I will have to come back to this one after trying the other sample packet.<\/p>\n What<\/strong>:\u00a0Organic Tie Guan Yin \u201cIron Goddess\u201d Oolong Tea with honey<\/a> by Teavivre<\/a> Serious need of a boost today!

\nType<\/strong>: Oolong, Flavored, Organic
\nCost<\/strong>: $13.90\/1.75oz ($7.95\/oz)
\n<\/a> Cost per Cup<\/strong>:
\nResteeps<\/strong>: 2
\nTea Score: <\/strong>83 – Good TGY with a nice balance between the tea and honey flavors.
\nCupboard Score<\/strong>: 68 – While the tea is good, I can’t see myself paying $7.95\/oz for it. I think between this and their other TGY I tried, I would probably reach for the other TGY first. Beyond that, if I wanted to add honey, I could add it by hand from my own organic honey stash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
