Wuyi Oolong Tea from Omni Tea International
86

Calling a tea “wuyi oolong” is a bit redundant. But in this category of tea which has such a wide spectrum, confirming that this tea is a center of the bell curve kind of oolong (much like TeaGschwendner’s Formosa Superior Choice that I reviewed the other day) is not necessarily a bad idea.

This tea lacks, perhaps, some of the three dimensional sparkle of the TG FSC, but do you always want “wet stone and dried apricot”? I don’t either. Sometimes you just want that rich, nutty, comforting cup, and these leaves will deliver every time.

This tea is certified organic, which is a good thing.

Yea! Another fellow Houstonian that’s TWO in one week and one that likes Oolongs!…and the answer is NO I don’t always want “wet stone and dried apricot”. LOL In fact I cannot say that I’ve ever craved “wet stone”. I LOVE the Formosa Silk Oolong at Te’ House of Tea (it’s located here in H-Town) and I’m sorta stuck on that right now ( as far as oolongs go). Enjoyed the review and please go review some tea places in Houston! :P

We’re big fans of Te House of Tea as well as The Path of Tea.

We used to live in Chicago and went to the TG retail shop a lot, including for private tasting events. So, we’re pretty spoiled.
