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!!!

Have been drinking this at work. Prefer Red Rose, but maybe one of these days this will give me the magic cuppa. It’s always hard to figure out when you’ll get one of those.

Yum! Sunday morning with a cup of this with a dash of milk & honey. Looking forward to my second steep, which I’ll have plain.

Struggling to get through this. Should’ve bought 10g instead of 25g, ahh! The Milk Oolong has ruined me.

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.

This is actually quite good on the third steep. I was not expecting that. Will have to adjust my rating up, it seems.

Ran out of milk at work so I had to do without my cuppa yesterday. It was awful. Have rectified the situation today.

I have a lot to learn about tea. So far, I know that I love drinking it. Black tea with milk to wake me up in the morning, endless cups of green tea at Chinese restaurants with friends in the evening, spiced tea with sugar for an indulgence, herbal tea with honey to calm me down…TEA!

likes: vanilla, cinnamon, spices

less-liked: fruity teas, artificial additives (although I might be okay if I don’t know about them? I don’t know yet).

I’d like to blend my own tea someday, with essential oils and good quality plain tea and the like. The idea of my own earl grey or monk’s blend is really enticing.
