This is actually one of my favorite oolongs — I like it even better than expensive organic offerings I’ve tried. It’s hard to describe what I look for in a good oolong flavor, but this one is just about right to me, I guess; it straddles the dividing line between grassy green and robust black very well.
I love tea, period! I’m always open to trying new things and I have favorites among all different varieties, from blacks to herbals and everything in between.
Due to cost and ease-of-use considerations, I mostly drink bagged teas as opposed to loose leaf, and this will be reflected in the types of reviews posted here. If you’re interested in thoughts about which grocery store teas don’t suck then you’re in the right place.
My very favorite teas are black and oolong — black with sugar and no milk, oolong straight — and I also love green. After living in Japan for a while, though, the cheap stuff here just doesn’t compare to the cheap stuff there ;) I’m far enough south to have grown up with sweet tea in the house, too, so basically I have a wide appreciation for things that aren’t necessarily considered “good-quality” tea. I just go by what my tastebuds tell me!
