I think I read somewhere that Oolong is like the “champagne of teas” though I might be thinking of Darjeeling. Or I’m totally wrong with both. :P In any case, this tea tasted truly decadent as my $1 Straight Tea promo tea to go today. I got it with a little agave, but decided to skip any milk (with Oolongs, I can go either way, which is one reason I love them so). Ok, so for the taste…I couldn’t really discern any milky or creamy notes, but honestly, I have a hard time pinning this down to a particular flavour, as it seems simple and complex at the same time. Like Roxy Music’s Avalon…so many members in the band, but the sound is smooth, but textured. Some people say buttery, and yeah, I guess I could say that, though sometimes I can’t get the descriptives. All I can say about this tea is that it truly does feel like a luxurious tea that tantalizes my taste buds. Should I decide to buy a straight tea, this is one I will definitely consider.
