shou mei mandarin peel tea

Review

Amount of Tea: 1 Dragon Pearl
Brewing Vessel: Small Glass Pitcher
Type of Water: Bottled Water (Reverse Osmosis)
Steep Time: 30 Seconds – 40 Seconds – 60 Seconds

Mandarin is certainly the dominant flavor, but it is fairly light, accompanied by typical shou mei herbal/earth notes.

It has become tart and almost drinks sort of like it’s food, rather then a beverage.

It’s quite thirst-quenching and almost feels nourishing in a way.

Flavor notes: Mandarin orange, tart, earth, sweet soil, and minerals.
