Indigobloom drank Quangzhou Milk Oolong by The Tea Haus

Ahhhhh what a weekend!! Turning 30 is exhausting…
But this was just what I needed to pick me up. Creamy and vegetal, slightly floral oh yes.
I prefer my MOs a bit darker, but this was so light that I really didn’t mind the green-ness.
Overall, not my fave, but one that I would like to try again in my brand new travel Gawain :)
and there are so many more teas on my backlog list… I just know that many of them will end up forgotten in the hustle of a very looong week!

Ooh! Happy belated birthday! I hope at least some part of it was enjoyable, even if it’s no fun to be out of your twenties? (I have a few years to go, but dreading it myself too).

And what’s a travel gaiwan?! Sounds cool! I’m looking to pick up a regular gaiwan sometime in the near future, but a travel one sounds really neat!

Krystaleyn, Thank you!! it was alot of fun, I spent it with great friends and had an absolute blast… but I did have a pity party (only I was invited) at one point lol
And the travel par, well it’s so cute!! the whole kit is super tiny, and comes in a zippered/padded pouch! I’ll post pics if I ever find my camera :)

Being 30 was easier for me than the whole year of being 29 … dreading what was coming, but then when it did, it wasn’t that big of a deal afterall. Wait until it’s 49 (worse, lol). My son turns 29 in a few weeks. Happy birthday!

Ashmanra: thanks, I do like relish! haha I cracka me up… but yes, I totally plan on it :)
Dinosara, indeed! It was my fave part of the whole weekend! thanks for the bday wishes :)

Profile

Bio

Let’s see… I’m a tea and workout fanatic, I work in HR, and most of my friends consider me to be an egg. White on the outside, Asian on the inside :)
-from philosophy to food, I love it all
Otherwise, what you see is what you get! I can be very straightforward and yet shy.

Also, I’ve started taking tea sommelier classes and it is an absolute blast! Well, so far I’ve only finished the first out of eight courses, but I am really looking forward to the next one.

Anyhow, if your curious as to how I rate things, this is how I work…

0-25
Like eating dirt, or some other unsanitary indelicacy that mentioning in my profile here would likely get me banned.
I don’t think I’ve found cause to banish a tea to the wasteland yet though so who knows what it’d inspire ;P

25-50
You know that expression “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”? I imagine drinking that water would be terrible enough to warrant this rating!
I’d never make my enemy drink this, but perhaps I’d throw it at them. Good thing I don’t have any enemies!

50-70
This is “tea”?? I tried finishing the cup… but my body rejected it. There may be others who enjoy this tea, but it’s beyond me!

70-80
I tried liking it, and I can almost get there! I certainly don’t hate it, but something is holding me back. Allergies? Men in white suits? who knows… certainly not me!

80-90
Lovely tea! Not my all time fave but close. I likely wouldn’t repurchase, but may decide to based on many factors: price, accessibility, whether it fills a “tea gap”, medicinal applications, and how often I crave it.
Every once in awhile I find the sweet spot that bumps these up to 90+. Those are the days I need to buy a lotto ticket!

90-95
Sweet Camellia! this is realllly good tea! Don’t talk to me until I’ve finished my cup…

95-100
Tea of the gods. I would do anything to get my hands on more of this liquid gold!
