Oriental Beauty from thepuriTea
90

An awesome Oolong! Beautifully woodsy and sweet with fruit and floral notes. A hint of nutty flavor in the background. A wonderfully complex Oriental Beauty. The lightly spiced taste reminds me of the warm flavors of fall while the crisp floral notes and sweet fruit notes remind me of the beauty of summer as its final moments come to a close. A lovely tea to sip as summer ends and my favorite season – autumn – begins!

I too am glad that autumn is coming soon, but only because it will make me one season closer to my fave: winter (which is ideal tea drinking weather in Texas!)

fave… winter… I should come have winter where you live.
Last year I had to call in sick to work, because it was -48 with the windchill. Most people still went to work. Yep, moving time! haha
Now autumn! There’s a winning season ^^

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

*

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

*

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

*

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
