This week's tea Drop is Orchid Dew, a Baozhong Oolong from Broken Cup Teahouse, Greater Boston's first traditional, Asian-style sit-down teahouse. Baozhong is one of the most special oolong teas, and the greenest, brewing a cup that's vibrant, vegetal, and sweet. Broken Cup is built on a deep reverence for the ritual and beauty of tea and sources directly from tea makers at origin. They were drawn to the heady floral, lightly creamy, and fresh fragrance that exudes from this tea, as intoxicating as the scent of summer flowers and grasses themselves. Orchid dew. Sugar snap pea. Lilac. 🌎Origin: Pinglin, Taiwan 🍵Type: Baozhong Oolong Loose Leaf ⚗️ Process: Hand-cut, hand-sorted, lightly oxidized About Broken Cup Teahouse: Officially, Yin founded Broken Cup Teahouse in early 2022, though she had already been dreaming about it and playing pretend teahouse for years. For her, tea is a thing of beauty. It is at once simple and humble, and yet profound. How is it that tea can cultivate such things as patience, curiosity, self-awareness, friendship, generosity, and appreciation for the true, good and beautiful? There is some undeniable magic in it. To be able to partake in and pass down this tradition that is thousands of years old is a true blessing and honor.
