127 Tasting Notes

Se Chung Special Oolong from Frontier Natural Products Co-op
69

Hmm, it’s okay. As usual for frontier it’s raw and refined but it definitely has a unique flavor.

Capetown from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
71
Formosa Fancy Superior Taifu from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
70

A neat woody traditional North Taiwanese. It’s very wonderful iced. Probably not as incredible as it’s priced at.

Jun Chiyabari TFFOP Nepal from By The Pound
61

Tastes like a burnt Oolong. At least that’s better than the TeaGrschwender version.

Pomegranate Oolong from White Lion
61

Yuck. Smells and tastes awful. This type of thing is obviously for people who can’t take the taste of real Oolong.

Quilan Oolong from White Lion
89

Whoa… I’m stunned. Somewhat fermented rich Oolong. How did the Aut bar find this company?

Sumatra Barisan from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
70

A a lovely light oolong with a crisp aftertaste. Probably a bit overpriced, though.

Pheonix Mountain Dan Cong from Teavana
70

Better than a lot of TeaVana stuff. It is peaty and crisp but with little flavor or aroma.

Honey Sweet Oolong from Great Lakes Tea and Spice
60

Yeah, I don’t know about this one. It’s more than likely a Ti Kuan Yin. The aroma and texture are okay but it has a metallic aftertaste…

Auspicious Ayame Wulong from Teavana
69

Interesting. More Green than Oolong, but I thought it would be neat to try a Japanese Oolong.

Finest Nepal Hand Rolled Jun Chiyabari, TeaHaus 619 from Ann Arbor TeaHaus
61

Huh. Seemingly no aroma or distinct taste. Kind of cross between an Oolong and an Assam. Next time I’ll try doubling the recipe.

Wuyi Oolong from Rishi Tea
89

Very cool flavor and texture. A wonderful tea experience.

Special Ti Kuan Yin from By The Pound
69

Extremely average, but I brewed it at 175 and it was slightly better. I wish it was organic.

Formosa Oolong from Harney & Sons
61
Bossa Nova (No. 993) from TeaGschwendner
69

A heck of lot of hazelnut for a tea. It could pass for coffee?

Orange Blossom from Ann Arbor TeaHaus

Classified as “aromatic”. It does have a lovely scent, and a surprisingly okay taste.

Iron Goddess from Rishi Tea

Excellent, but don’t buy it from Zingerman’s. Kind of overpriced.
