Formosa Oolong from Britannia Teas and Gifts
81

1 TB per 500mL pot.

A twiggy oolong with gorgeous, varieated leaves. Not detecting any of the fruity notes Formosa Oolongs sometimes boast. This one brings to mind tobacco more than peaches. The leaves are not tightly rolled. It’s a bit temperamental and needs a careful steep. I like it, but I like my Ti Kuan Yin better.

Bio

Writer and tea fiend. Author of DELUDED YOUR SAILORS, SKY WAVES, DOUBLE-BLIND, and THE SHADOW SIDE OF GRACE.

I prefer straight teas but will try almost anything … so long as it’s not tainted with hibiscus. I loathe hibiscus.

Oolongs and blacks are my favourites.

St John’s, Newfoundland, Canada
