2019 First Flush Ramro Cha · Mandal Gaon
Have you seen the wine rating style tea write-ups that Tony has been sharing on Tea Epicure? I really enjoy the short, no-fuss approach that he is taking.

East Matcha Green Tea Frappucino

Uncle Nearest Whiskey + Peach Infused Oolong
Nazanin from Tea Thoughts is a girl after my own whiskey-loving heart. This week she shared a recipe for a tea cocktail featuring fresh peaches and dancong oolong. My husband might even drink this one! Her tip about gently rinsing the leaves in order to open them up is a game-changer.

Micah from The Weekend Sessions took a bullet for all of us this week by drinking Bitterleaf Teas Bitter End Extra and lived to tell the tale. I enjoy sheng with a bit of bite this one might be too much, even for me. It will be interesting to see how it will age and mellow over time.
