drank Gui Hua Oolong by Tealux

Pssst… Steepster… Did I ever tell you how much I love oolongs? Cause yeah…I do very, very much!!

This afternoon, I felt fancy…I’m a total tea snob, not gonna lie. Plus I’m a girly girl, so sometimes…occasionally…I pull out my really fancy gears.

That’s what I did today, and it made me really happy!

Now the tea. It’s lovely.

It Osmanthus oolong so be fully aware that it’s very floral and also fruity.

Unlike some others I have tried, this one doesn’t feel soapy in the mouth.

It has a very distinctive taste of peach, to the point that one might think it’s peach scented but it’s not.

Very creamy with a nice body. It’s not overly green, but it is somewhat grassy.

Also, for the price, this tea is an awesome deal. Beautifully rolled and crafted, large leaves when they open up.

I love it and it was the perfect companion to fit my precious antique teawares this afternoon.

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
