I intend to host a traditional afternoon tea next Thursday, but at night instead of during the afternoon (work and whatnot, you know). In advance of that date, I have ordered some new teas from Adagio using my $5 coupon from Erin. By the way, if anyone wants $5 coupons, I have some to give away. Now that I have a number of teas on hand, perhaps we’ll do a tea tasting next Thursday, much like the ramen tasting we did a while ago.
Today’s tea was a white peony tea packaged by Adagio Teas, called White A Cappella. This tea tasted a little astringent, but there was almost no bitterness. I don’t think this would make a good relaxation tea, which is a pity, as I tried it late at night. It’d make a great morning tea. Very up and at ‘em. Overall, I think I still prefer the great white oolong I tried a few months ago. The white oolong was complex and flavorful, with a mellow, almost savory taste that lingered pleasantly in my mouth. No bitterness and very little astringency, but the white oolong still packed a punch with great flavor.
