drank Wuyi Cassia by Harney & Sons
3226 tasting notes

This is a beautiful oolong, with its dark and twisted leaves, so long and so rich looking. I had this today with a chocolate chip muffin and hubby joined me. He still says this isn’t his favorite but he drank several cups anyway.

My tastes in oolongs go back and forth – I orefer greens for a while, then roasted, then milk oolong…but I can say that this was really excellent today, and it is quite old. I know some oolongs are aged, and even pressed into cakes like puerh. I think this one is a good candidate for that because it seems to have kept it’s charm, roasty, nutty, and on the final steeps having a cool sweetness akin to licorice root or ginseng.

I think roasted oolongs keep for a long time, at least 5 years. I have one that says it’s good for 15 years!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
