#Tea

2026-01-21. I like this Mi Lan Xiang tea I'm drinking because it's
roasted over lychee coal. I just waited next to the cup and when it
smelled fruity, I decanted it. My first impression is that I like it
better than the Ye Lai Xiang I had in previous years. Three steepings,
all with that nice taste.

The Bancha Kyushu was nice, too. A citrus note that I wasn't
expecting. Two steepings.
