aged anxi tie guan yin
Taking a break from talking about horrifying drug side effects to instead talk about tea.
I'm drinking a 10 years aged anxi tie guan yin oolong. This is an oddity because oolong tea is not generally supposed to be aged. When they age it they alternately store it and roast it. The result is a much less green tasting and much more toasty tea than standard tie guan yin. The color of the brewed tea is dark golden.
The leaves took a while to wake up. The first pour was pretty bland. The second, after the leaves had sat for a while was much nicer and the third better yet. It's a very mellow light-bodied tea with a notable roasty flavor. It's the sort of tea that makes me want almond cookies to go with it. Sadly, no one makes good GF almond cookies.
