I have a summer cold.
No proper sense of smell, yet I want to experience a nice cup of tea, preferably something smooth and sweet, even mellow. I could have gone with a soupy, lush fukamushi (deeply steamed) sencha, but it did not feel quite right. I would not have minded a nice Bi Lu Chun, but am out of that. I have some high quality light oolong, but it would have been wasted without functioning olfactory input.
The conundrum dissolved as I remembered a tea which I mentioned in my last post; the Light roast Da Hong Pao. The reason I like this tea so much is its range. (Also, punnily enough, its price range -- but enough of that!)
