Kind words from our customers and our community
I bought a small bag of this tea essentially blindly at the Monrovia Farmer's Market on impulse this past weekend. The stall had cold brewed samples so it was hard to gauge the flavor, and the tasting cups had an oil smell from their waterproof coating that interfered with the aroma (difficult already with cold brewed tea).
I gotta say, this was the best risk I've taken. This is literally my new favorite tea, and I'll be getting that 4 oz package next time, no question. The tea is so deliciously malty and robust, a huge standout from the black teas that are my normal go-to morning teas. Closer to some of the nice aged pu-erhs we have that I save for longer tea sessions. It is a definite upgrade from my Bare Leaves Golden Yunan Black, and well worth the higher price!
My partner and I picked up a pack of this tea at the Redondo Beach Farmer's market yesterday! We came home and made two servings for ourselves. We also were able to steep it three times after and it honestly tasted even more amazing! It's extremely clean and even sweet without needing to add any sugar at all. I normally don't like tea unless it has a lot of sweetener in it so this is a first for me. It's easily one of the best teas I've ever had! -
While shopping the Monrovia street fair, we sampled some cold-brewed tea and my daughter fell in love with this flavor. She prefers white tea and I prefer green but this perfectly suits us both. It reminds me of the tea they serve at our favorite Chinese restaurant Townsent. The price caught me off guard but we purchased anyway and it doesn't disappoint. A huge plus is that you can steep the same leaves several times before having to discard, it's even on the label, so it's worth it.
