Calochortus

Golden Pak Fujian Oolong from Golden International Corp.

Calochortus drank Golden Pak Fujian Oolong by Golden International Corp.

I got this tea at the local International store in Pullman, Washington. It’s an awesome store with all sorts of random things. Hermetically sealed duck eggs? Sure. Stinky fermented tofu? Yeah. Random teas that are poorly labeled? Always. This is the third on the list — it’s an import from China, and… that’s all I know. The taste is a nice and smooth. It’s a bit brothy, and produces an orange-brown liqour. It’s one of the only oolongs I’ve had so far, and it’s only $2 for 100 packets. Cheap? Probably. But it’s great for everyday.

Bio

Calochortus likes plants and knitting and bacteria. She doesn’t have a very large tea allowance, so expect a lot of grocery store/local/home-grown teas. Or teas from Etsy. She’s grown up with tea, as it is part of (half of) her culture.

Her favorite teas are black and usually fruity or vanilla-y. She likes to put milk in her tea, too, but she’s trying to widen her palette with green teas. She finds that tea leaves are great for composting, too.
