Rishi is my new favorite tea company BEST tea so far
Been drinking loose leaf for 2 decades. Never paid more than $30 a lb., so never had anything THIS good
...
before. I also tried Gong Fu brewing as of 2020. I still merge western brewing with an adapted Gong Fu style, where I brew in multiple infusions (between 4 and 7 depending on the type of Oolong) and use a Kyusu (just easier). Sometimes I brew starting at 2 minutes and 45 seconds and go up (dark Oolongs). This one I keep it at 2 min. and do 7 infusions where the water barely covers the leaves with 1 lvl Tbsp. of tea. I usually have to add water when I'm done...and Stevia. The floral notes in this are simply AMAZING!! After brewing, it isn't as strong. When I let the tea sit, the flavors intensify and the tea gets stronger. The next morning the tea tastes even better (sitting out at room temp)!! When I get the perfect water balance plus the Stevia, the floral notes just BURST in my mouth, lingering there a while. This is SO good, i could drink a pot of this daily. SOOO thrilled with this tea. I've died and gone to tea heaven!! I've literally never had ANYTHING better. This and their Ruby Oolong are the best teas I've ever had.

hear me out on this
alright. so. it said that the tea was very floral. and yes. yes it is. the smell of fresh cut gardinia
...
as it says on the package is super powerful. its all i can taste and smell. it wasnt till i added sugar that i could taste actual tea. wich on my side of the world we add sugar and cream to our tea anyway so it wasnt that big of deal. its not exactly a taste ive ever tasted befor so im trying to figure out if i like the flowery notes or not. idk if i could string enough words together to express how i feel about it. ill come back after ive drunk all the tea with an update. i think its nice if you brewing it out in your garden on a gentle spring mid morning with the scent of your flowers blooming.

Tasty Tea
Wonderful flavors, beautiful aromas characterize this tea. Very delicate product, though as these flavors
...
and aromas can dissipate quickly after a week or two. Not sure what makes this tea so fragile other than the fact that it is, after all, an organic product. Maybe its essential oils are unable to take much oxygen once the package is open.
