Zhong Shu Hu Oolong Tea from Tea from Taiwan

Mercuryhime drank Zhong Shu Hu Oolong Tea by Tea from Taiwan

Very sweet. I did a double take on my first sip. Did someone sneak sugar into this? Very floral and creamy. I’m really happy I ordered these sample packs. All their oolongs are so sweet and smooth. I especially enjoy this one because of that hit of sweetness. Later steepings bring out more creaminess and balances out the floral flavors. Then the peachy kicks in. And later the more typical oolong flavor reminds you that you’re drinking tea and not some heavenly nectar of the gods.

I had the tiniest bit from my sample pack so I can actually enjoy this again later. :)

Tea from Taiwan – looks like a great website. Have you tried the GABA oolong?

I have heard the GABA is very good for the mind and body….

I haven’t tried GABA but I have a sample. When I get to it, I’ll log it and you can read what I think. THough the existing logs aren’t looking too promising…

Yeah, I have a sample of the GABA and haven’t tried it yet. I really shouldn’t let reviews deter me, but they’re not glowing to say the least!

Profile

Bio

I came from a tea drinking family, but I never appreciated the different qualities and varieties of tea until older. All that time wasted! But I guess I needed to be mature enough to appreciate the tea experience. :)

My favorite teas are green oolongs and white tea. I also love greens, especially gyokuro. I have a huge appreciation for rooibos and honeybush as they are often that only thing I can drink in the evening. I am a relatively new convert to black teas. This is unfortunate for my wallet but extremely wonderful for my palate. :)

In any case, I have a love for both flavored and unflavored teas. They are different experiences for sure, but both enjoyable. I find that it often depends on my mood.

I am on a quest to find a tea that will win my husband over. I think I’m making some headway…
