It a bit surprising how resilient this tea is to high water temperatures, especially given how green this particular oolong is. I steep this tea three times (2nd @ 3:00, 3rd @ 3:45) before I got bored with it – three seems to be my limit for most oolong teas, although that Jade Teapot Tie Kwan Yin sample managed to keep my interest for longer.

I haven’t written a review for it yet, but the Jade Teapot sample of green TGY I got was freaking magical. Four Seasons seemed so overpriced and weak in comparison.

It does, I totally agree. In yo face Samovar! ;P

Bio

I’m a university student in her mid-twenties who’s currently working her way toward a Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree. I love both science and science-fiction and I’m a history nut on top of that. Maybe I should just call myself a nerd and leave it there. ;)

I’ve been drinking tea since I was young but it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve become interested in the good-quality stuff.

I’m also a self-proclaimed Grammar-Nazi, and improper capitalization and spelling invariably makes me twitch (yes, I mean you!)
