Playing catch-up in LP’s 2015 Aged Oolong Group Buy.
These were supposed to be mini tuo made out of Oolong. LP did mention that it was actually a black tea pressed. I noticed sharper malty flavours, like dian hong. I dont drink a lot of black, and certainly not gongfu. It wasnt up my street to be honest! I’m probably making it wrong or something – I treated it like I would gongfu Pu or gongfu Oo – flash steeps etc. I dont think its that kind of tea.
The aroma from the gaiwan was really nice though, and having something fun to get our teeth into is always a welcome addition.
