2018 Spring "Honeymoon" Sheng / Raw Puerh Tea Blend by Crimson Lotus Tea | Teatico
Overview
This tea is just pure happiness. You're sitting on a beach in the warm sun without a care in the world. You have a maitai in your hand and nowhere to be. You close your eyes and find that you're actually at home drinking this tea. This tea is very relaxing. It has a lot of body, relaxing energy, minor fruity and floral notes with just enough bitterness and astringency to keep it interesting. This tea is soft and smooth and very easy to drink and lose yourself. This tea was a cooperative project with Cody of 'The Oolong Drunk' and Stephanie (stephanieosborne.com). Cody approached us with an idea for a blend and wrapper and we worked to source the material and make it happen. Stephanie did the design work. This blend is a custom piece of work that took us quite a while to nail down this year. It is a Manzhuan based blend and features all first Spring picking old tree material. We are very happy with how it turned out and hope you are too!
