Milky Oolong (TB13) from Nothing But Tea

Angrboda drank Milky Oolong (TB13) by Nothing But Tea

I have NOTHING to DRINK!

I was looking at the tins and nothing really struck me. Eventually I picked one at random. I haven’t had this one in a while and I was a little surprised to see that the tin is only a third full now. I bought 100g! Where did it all go? I mean I like it but I didn’t really think I liked it so much that it would disappear behind my back like that. (Maybe I gave some of it away… I forget.)

I can’t decide if I want to reorder. The aroma that smells of strawberries and sugar says yes. But the flavour that doesn’t have any strawberry or sugar in it says awwww… :( But then again all this is only when I ignore the fact that next to the strawberry and sugar aroma there is also the unmistakable note of old yoghurt.

I’m curious about the concept though. I may not reorder this particular one, but I might try some other ones from other places. Explore the concept a bit.

It’s smoooooooth and a bit heavy for a green type oolong. But it’s summerly, I guess because of the strawberry-y aroma aspect, and summerly on a very windy day following some very windy and rainy days at the end of august is definitely a good idea.

i hate when you can stare at a cabinet full of tea and want absolutely none of it…

Yes! And then the thought of the TeaSpring order on its way… I want that.

Profile

Bio

Angrboda felt her bio needed to be re-written, but she failed to consider what she wanted it to say instead.

Um…

Okay. Ang prefers black teas and the darker sorts of oolongs. She has to be in the mood for green and white and she enjoys, but knows little to nothing about, pu-erh.

Her preferences with black teas are the Chinese ones, particularly from Fujian, but also Keemun and just about anything smoky. She occasionally enjoys Yunnans but they’re not favourites.

She is sceptical about Indian blacks as she generally finds them too astringent and too easy to get wrong. She doesn’t really care for Darjeelings at all.

She likes flavoured teas as well, particularly fruit flavoured ones, but also has an obsession with finding the Perfect Vanilla Flavoured Black.

However, she thinks Earl Grey is generally kind of boring. Cinnamon and ginger are also not really a hit, and she’s not very fond of chais. Evil hibiscus is evil. Even in small amounts, and yes, Ang can usually detect hibiscus, mostly by way of the metallic flavour of blood it has.

Ang is not super impressed with rooibos or honeybush. She doesn’t care for either, really, but when they are flavoured, there have been known to be surprising exceptions to this rule.

Ang has a number of teas that she regards her Standard Panel and will always try to have on hand.
-Lapsang Souchong, any brand really, but preferably AC Perchs.
-Blackberry flavoured black or similar, any brand.
-Late Summer Blend, AC Perchs
-Raspberry Oolong, AC Perchs OR Red Fruits Oolong, Le Palais des Thes
-Caramel, Kusmi OR Toffee, Le Palais des Thes
-Something orange flavoured, black or pu-erh, any brand.
-Tan Yang Te Ji, Teaspring OR Bai Lin Gongfu, Teavivre
-A good Keemun, any brand.
-The Perfect Vanilla Black if and when she ever finds it…

Angrboda is almost always open to swapping. Just ask her.
