Shui Xian Wuyi Oolong from Verdant Tea
93

Backlogged from last night; this tea is soo much goodness! Again from Verdant! Think I did first steeping 10 secs, and increase by 5 each time, but I can’t quite recall :P oh, and prettty sure I rinsed it..anyways, I did a few steepings, first were so buttery and creamy, almost like a milk oolong to me? So good! The later steepings were more floral, a delicious, sweet flower. Also, quite a bit of honey present, but not as much as the Mi Lan Xiang I tried the night before. Overall, delicious!! May have to put both of the oolongs in my yixing pot, as it may be too tough to just pick one!

Bio

Hello all, I’m a newly graduated electrical engineer as of 2013 (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it’s excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee!

I enjoy a variety of herbal, white, green, oolong and black teas. I am a bit sensitive to caffeine, but I find that in moderation I can still indulge in black teas and matcha. I’ve also dabbled with matcha and pu’erhs.

Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid all other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a wee bit, but oh well.

95+: Absolute favorite, will try to always have it in stock, and when I don’t I pine over it!
90-94: Awesome teas, will probably purchase again a few times
80-89: Very good tea, may restock at some point
70-79: happy to have tried and will gladly finish, but not restock
60-69: not horrible, but not the best, will finish if I have some though
50-59: not a favorite, probably will have a tough time finishing the bag
-50: yuck. I don’t want to have it ever again.

I am happy to say that my caffeine intolerance seems to be subsiding! This is allowing me to try a wider variety of teas :)
