Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea from Teavivre
100

Thank you so much for this sample, Teavivre!

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness! I’m telling you, this is going on my shopping list right next to their Blueberry tea. Yuuuuum.

Okay, I’ll try to use better words >.s just something I noticed.

And oh! This tea opened up beautifully. Beautifully! Might pour the leaves into my steeper to just watch it go! Next packet will definitely be done in the glass gaiwan. And the fact that the temperature is foolproof only makes me love it all the more.

One packet in 10oz of water, 100C, 2 minutes in my Perfect Mug from DavidsTea.

This may have to be on an order from Teavivre.

I am incredibly impressed with Teavivre. Their teas are amazing, their customer service is out of this world and can I just say that offering free samples to tea lovers is brilliant? It’s like a drug, the first taste is free, and now we’re all going back for more ;).

What is shipping like from them to Canada? Did you get nailed on customs?

I’m curious what will be in my next shipment. I haven’t reviewed all of mine yet, so I don’t expect anymore til I do. I still have the Jasmine Pearls Green Tea and then that will be all of them. Hoping to try the milk oolong and some of the fruit ones too.

Tina, the samples were provided to me by Teavivre, so there was no shipping cost, but as I understand it, they offer free shipping over $30. It took a little while to get here, a few weeks, but since it was sent from overseas, that’s pretty good! I didn’t seem to have any issues with customs.

Heather, when Angel contacted me, she asked if there were any I’d be interested in trying, and I let her know I’d be interested in the milk oolong and the blueberry fruit tea along with the TKY with honey. So it never hurts to ask?

I didn’t even notice the blueberry one when I looked on the site before when she sent to me…I should take another look.

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!
