There was nowhere near enough in my sample pack. I really wish I could casually sniff this tea, both dry and steeped, throughout the day without being stared at. My subtle sniffing skills are just not at that level.

I love the aroma of baked rice krispies, and here it is.

Needless to say, this was a much better experience than the last time I spent with this tea.

Flavors: Butter, Marshmallow, Toasted Rice

I can’t speak for how it compares to the original, but it’s definitely way better than the reblends I tried. You’ll have to tell me what you think. :)

My sample packet was also more rice and very few tea leaves. There may be one or two leaves remaining.

I love this note. It’s funny and perfect and now I want some of this tea. Sadly, mine has not arrived yet. Thanks for the laugh!

Bio

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

My favourites are teas like Milk Oolong, Silver Needle,and Japanese Sencha/Gyokuro, or fruity and floral flavoured ones. However, I generally enjoy ALL the teas, including a good old cup of Earl Grey or Breakfast blend.

Subjective Rating System:
I don’t give a lot of low ratings out, since a) I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me, and b) I don’t have a lot of strong dislikes.

90-100: Favourites. The Desert Island Teas.
80-89: Loved teas. Possibly staple-worthy.
70-79: Good teas, but I’m less likely to repurchase. Minor quibbles.
60-69: Ok teas. Likely a few preference and/or quality issues.
50-59: Cup of meh. Will do in a pinch.
11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea.
1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, an unholy abomination. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
