It's almost time for me to order another batch of tea. The only problem... too many to choose from! As you may have noticed, I have started a poll so please help me decide. Eventually we will try them all but I would like to keep the teas diverse every month. Here are my narrowed down choices
Black Teas:
Ancient Forest Black - Fair Trade, Biodynamic & Organic. A Chinese black tea from the ancient protected tea tree forests of the Yunnan Province which is full bodied, earthy and apparently like no other black tea anyone has ever tasted before. I am curious.
Los Andes - Organic. From the only real tea plantation in Latin America, half the leaves picked are from the plantation and the other half from neighbouring farms. The plantation manager travels to the many farms to ensure the production and organic standards are adhered to. The estate is very commited to the social development, education, and health of its workers. Perhaps less for the taste and more for the social impact, I would like to support this plantation.
White Tea
Silver Needle: Organic silver leaf buds yield a piquant fresh flavour with a flowery finish and a light astringency. If I were to compare it, it reminds me of a peppermint tea without the bite.
Strawberry, Blueberry or Lemon White: Organic. 3 flavours to choose from. Fruit is the perfect companion for white tea. The flavour of the fruit is infused over multiple days but the flavour remains light and fragrant without overpowering the white tea taste.
White Rose - Organic and infused with rose petals this tea is silky smooth and very healthy. It's high in vitamin C and contains the same amount of anioxidants as green tea.
Any thoughts or requests are welcome.
