LiberTEAS drank Mauka Oolong Tea by KTeas

Backlogging this as I am now finishing up my final cup after six infusions.

The flavor of this is so interesting. It starts out rather intense with a sweet and sour fruit note, and the sour dissipates with each subsequent infusion, and the sweetness that is quite honey-like emerges stronger. It starts with a resinous pine note, and this eventually subsides and becomes more of a woodier kind of flavor. With the sixth cup, I recognize a papaya-like flavor that becomes clearer as I near the bottom of the cup.

A really intriguing Oolong. I enjoyed it very much.

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.
