125 Tasting Notes
Made a glorious pot of this for friends last night. I am REALLY fond of my new glass teapot! I do have to clean out the infuser by using floss, however, which took me a while to figure out.
Anyway, this is always a comforting classic. Fragrant, elegant, beautiful liquor.
Unexpectedly had a whole heap of people over Friday night. Remembered I had 3 of these gifted from a friend, so pulled out the as-yet-unused glass teapot and made tea for everyone.
Luckily we also had wine and beer and other tea. It’s a lot of fun to watch bloom (of course), but the taste is pretty subtle and nothing particularly interesting at that.
I’m excited people got to try
Paris – Harney & Sons
Lover’s Leap – Harney & Sons
Ombrelle de Papier – Camellia sinensis
Amazing Vanilla – Teaopia
…and who knows what else, to be honest.
Still, awesome! Hurray tea!!!
Haven’t been logging for some time. Have just been drinking the same teas, though, so there was no real reason. However, just got 25g of this a couple days ago.
On first steep, really strong vanilla aroma! Too much for me, really with such a light base. I think the actual oolong doesn’t have an opportunity to shine.
A pleasant cup nonetheless, but probably won’t warrant a second purchase.
