aisling of tea drank Quangzhou Milk Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

I love this tea. When we bought it, I was shocked at the price, but when I drink it, I’m positive it’s worth every penny. It’s just smooth and comforting and tasty and when it steeps, it is GORGEOUS. I love just watching it in my looseleaf brewer. Definitely not one for the tea ball, it plumps up way too much. This is one of my favorites.

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
