I had the day off so I decided to take my Christmas gift card and coupon and go have some tea. I was looking forward to having tea at Pioneer Coffeehouse. I wanted to try their Hugo tea.
I went in thinking I would get the oolong tea, but then the gal working the counter told me there was a new tea- Jasmine. I love Jasmine, so I went for that one.

These are beautiful rolled leaves. I love that they unfurl when they steep.
from the website,
"notes — sweet pea | hawthorn honey | nectarine

style — rolled & scented bai hao ("white tips")
cultivar — da ye ("big leaf")
region — guangxi province
locale — long kou farm
producer — mingfu lei
vintage — summer 2019"
I was given my tea and a timer- that way I could get my tea perfect. How great is that???! More tea places need to do this. If you have the correct temperature and the correct steep time, you will get a wonderful cup of tea.
They even give you your own pitcher. Once I finished this cup, I went back for more hot water.
This was a really nice Jasmine tea. The Jasmine /floral notes were super strong, I have to say I liked the second cup better than the first, it was not as intense as the first cup.
I hung out for almost two hours- drinking tea and blogging. They have free wi-fi and several comfy places to chill in the coffeehouse. I like their style and the vibe in there.
The only thing missing as I looked out the window was snow!! I love watching it snow...
