San Lin Xi Formosa Oolong (Rich Aroma) from Asha Tea House

Amy oh drank San Lin Xi Formosa Oolong (Rich Aroma) by Asha Tea House

I need to light a fire under myself to finish the green oolongs I have before they go stale.

I’m happy to report this is still delicious! (see previous notes). I did give it a bit of a longer steep today than I normally would because it’s western style brewing.

I was just looking at this the other day.This is some expensive shhhtuff. It’s probably worth it though.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

94-90 An excellent tea which I may or may not repurchase

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable

69-60 Mundane – Will probably drink it if I have it

59-50 Ick

49 and below Nasty
