On Thursday we had a busy tea sesh in the Ren and Stimpy room at Cloyne (my co-op). About twelve of us hung out and tasted teas for an hour and a half. We started with Rootd Tea's Wild Honey White Tea. It is light and flowery, perfect for starting off. Then we moved on to a Dragonwell Green Tea from Numi. People really liked its grassy flavor and borderline astringency - it's very refreshing. The third tea of the night was another of Rootd's selections, donated to me by Nick Bastone. It was a lightly oxidized Tie Guan Yin, one of my top oolong picks:

Lastly, we had a darker oolong from Samovar called Wuyi Dark Roast. The darkest of the teas that evening, people liked its honey color and roasty aroma. I love this tea - its richness is filling in a really nice way.
Managing the gaiwan!
