HOLY SWEET CREAM BATMAN!
Yes, I gong fu’d this tea with moderately longer steeps and am backlogging, but this tea was my favorite of the jade oolongs I’ve had so far from this company. It took a tinsy bit to open up, but after it did, the bouquet of flowers and sweet cream opened up exponentially.
There was a little bit of a mango note, but sweet cream was how I would describe the tea overall and it is very close to being my favorite. The profile was almost the same in each of the seven cups I brewed it with slightly altering heady florals and a growing yet barely noticeable grassiness in the background. It was not super complex, but I did not mind that too much. I would just be a little bit concerned about the teas delicacy. Now I hope that I can replicate the session with my leftovers. I’m going to be sad when this goes.
Canada, yessssss!
Yep. And shipping was pretty fast for me. I’ve got two more green oolongs to go from them and the sampling of their black teas. Most of their selection is from Taiwan. I’m going to write another note for this one just to make sure the session was not a honeymoon one and my tongue was not exaggerating…though I drank this immediately after the Lishan.
Excellent. I am so over the outrageous shipping fees and duties of ordering from the States.
