Here’s another one from TheLastDodo! Thanks! Here’s a pricey little cup (looking up steeping instructions on Teavana’s site!) Oh Teavana. Haha. After trying a few yellow teas, I’m starting to think they are like a mix between light Yunnans and Kenyan white teas. The leaves here are a long twisty grayish color with hints of gold. The steep color is a lighter grayish gold as well. The flavor is good – notes of sweet potato, light tomato soup, honey, sweet grass. It’s a great yellow tea… but worth that price? It’s not GOLD tea! I’d trust another tea shop valuing a tea this high, but not Teavana. I’d much sooner drink a Yunnan or Kenyan white tea anyway and any of those are probably much cheaper. But I’ll enjoy the remaining teaspoons I have of this one.
Steep #1 // 2 tsps. // 30 min after boiling // 3 min
Steep #2 // 20 min a.b. //4 min
I might have been a little more absent from Steepster lately due to catching up on Tournament books and the Tournament itself: themorningnews.org/tob

My same thoughts when I bought this :)
TOB sounds cool! So do you read 2 books and judge which one has a better story? Or do you go by writing style?
Haveteawilltravel – I’m just happy it isn’t a BAD tea. :D
TheLastDodo – I guess it’s the whim of each judge what they’d like to judge by. But it’s probably many factors!
