Lynne-tea

Lynne-tea drank Quangzhou Milk Oolong by DAVIDsTEA

Third time trying this tea and I find it gets more and more interesting every time.
Dry: very milky creamy smell. Almost like nearly dried milk (a bit funky, but sweet and addictive.) Little green balls of goodness.
Liquor: 1st steep – 4 min – carmel green color. Smells of warm and sweet buttery vegetables. Like a sweet creamed spinach (I have never had such a thing but thats what comes to mind..). The taste is incredibly floral. Definitely a silky smooth texture. I wouldn’t go as far as to say buttery just yet. Maybe in the next steeps.
2nd steep- 4m30s- Still very floral, with a slight hint of veg (where’s my milk?) Maybe I did something wrong? A little bit buttery, but nothing to really note.
3rd steep- ….I’m working on it.

In my couple tries of this one, I found that the milkiness disappeared to a great extent after the first steep, but it still tasted like a good oolong after. However, I don’t usually start with an infusion of four minutes – I go with 1 or 2.

Bio

I am very excited to delve into as many different types of tea as possible… so this should be interesting. I am really looking forwards to tasting all the wide array of flavours that can come from pure tea leaves.

Currently, I am having a love affair with oolongs. Mostly green, though I am stretching out into more oxidized oolongs. Black teas are also in my love fest as they can be so surprising sometimes (I used to drink bagged red rose x.x)
I would really love to get to know green tea a lot more and white tea.. all tea to be honest. I want to know them all.

Tea rating system:

0-50: Do people actually enjoy this?
50-60: Slight improvement, not recommendable.
60-70: Alright, though easily forgettable.
70-80: Good flavour, though not a ‘go to’ tea.
80-90: Great tea – complex and memorable.
90-100: Extremely delicious and complex teas that leave me craving more.

On top of tea, I have a love for music. Generally all music, though I am partial to indie rock/folk/pop/electronic. Follow me if you also enjoy indie music and would like to trade some artists!

I’m always open to new tea and music suggestions. Happy tea drinking to you all.
