Thank you for the sample!
I impulsively bought a pound of their milk oolong with a discount, and put this sample in the order. It only lasted two steeps, but was immensely smooth and good. Smoke, toffee, chocolate, roast, charcoal, honey, wood, autumn, earth, ash, and a little bit of grassiness or moss in an incredible first steep after 45 seconds. 50 seconds for the second one, and it was faded. Delicious, but faded.
I would definitely consider picking some of this up in another order. Makes me mourn the opportunity for their rum one. Either way, I was deeply satisfied with this Hojicha. The only downside is that it didn’t last.
Flavors: Charcoal, Chocolate, Earth, Honey, Roasty, Smoke, Smooth, Sweet, Toasty, Wet Moss, Wet Wood, Wood

Oof! You won’t be running out of green oolong for a while! I hope that milk oolong is good.
Yeah, but that won’t prevent me from getting more lol. I’m really excited about the swap too! Granted, I always drink green oolong, so they last me a decent amount of time because I finish them so quickly. It’s one of the few milk oolongs that’s actually fruity. I think it’s flavored, but it’s very reliable.
I also keep hearing speculation about current events over Taiwan, and it has me panic buying a little bit this year.
Yes, events in Taiwan are worrying. I have your box all packed up and ready to go, though there’s space for a couple more teas that I’m trying to fill.
Just in case you need even more green oolong, Floating Leaves is having a one-day 35% off sale on their winter 2021 oolongs and baozhongs. I’m tempted, but will resist. :) I’m working my way through a 150 g bag of spring 2021 Li Shan from Bok and don’t need more tea!
Yay!
150 grams of Lishan=cool
Definitely! It’s good, though better in a clay pot with slightly longer steeps than I usually do. I have about 100 g left. :)
