Tea Advent Calendar (2022)
Bringing moments of calm and reflection
--
Time for tea meditation
Over the course of the next month, I will be drinking 25 teas, courtesy of
@cominsteahouse. I’ll be sharing the journey on social media under the hastag #CominsAdventCalendar.
The List
1 — Yunnan Broad Leaf Black
A strong, sweet black tea with fresh floral notes. Starts with creamy and malty notes, before finishing with a sweetness.
Love the slight caramel flavour. We’re off to a good start.
2 — Eastern Beauty
Oolongs are often considered the finest and most highly prized teas. This tea is from the same garden as the Yunnan Broad Leaf Black. It has lingering floral and fruity notes.
An unmistakeable, iconic tea. It has everything I’m looking for — citrus fruit twang, rose florals, honeyed, and a potent fragrance. I will now judge all teas against this standard.
3 — Tian Mu Qing Ding
A breath of fresh, crisp air.
4 — Nepal Summer Gold
5 — Moonshine
6 — Heritage Wuyi Oolong
