The tea of the day for Dec 18th is Buddha's Blend. I wasn't sure what to think of it initially, but omgwow...this is quite the tea!
Name: Buddha's Blend
Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: White
Dry Scent: Very strong, aromatic peach and peach-blossom scents, quite sweet, but also with a strong, slightly pine-y grassy scent and hints of jasmine. This smells absolutely beautiful.
Steeping Time: 3-4 min
Steeped Flavour: Mildly sweet, fruity, with hints of peach and mango and something else tropical. There is a strong, grassy undertone from the white and green teas, and there are also perfumed overtones of jasmine and something that smells a little like orange blossoms. This is like standing inside of a summer orchard, with the heat of the sun intensifying all of the flavours and scents.
Food/Drink Pairings: This would make an amazing cocktail iced with a little lychee liqueur. It's not really a food pairing tea, but it would probably be good with most things that are not too sweet, especially fresh fruits or a fruit flan.
Rating out of Six Tails:
6/6
