هوانغتشا الكورية الصفراء

The first steep has this honeyed sweetness that shifts into something almost woody by the third cup, and it keeps its character even after several infusions. The leaves themselves are so artfully twisted and hand-crafted that you can tell real care went into this batch. It’s become my quiet morning

I’ve been brewing this as my afternoon ritual and the complexity really comes through—each cup shifts from floral to almost nutty as it cools. It’s clearly hand-crafted, the leaves are beautiful and intact, and the fact that it comes from a small family farm shows in every sip.

The first steep hit me with this deep, toasty sweetness I wasn't expecting—it's like the leaves have their own story to tell in the cup. I've already gone through half the bag in a week, just brewing it over and over to see how the flavor shifts each time.
