Oolong Tea from Yamamotoyama
82

Thank you Starberry for sending me this sample!

Mmmm… This is good. I wanted something smooth and simple at work and this tea did not disappoint! This is also my first time having oolong on its own (though now that I taste it, I’m pretty sure I’ve had it at restaurants before) and I’m glad I did because I really like it a lot! It’s one of those teas that you can just have no matter what kind of mood you’re in. Unlike chais, breakfast teas, and herbals, I have to be craving their flavors. This is the taste I used to think of when I thought of tea as a child. It kind of makes me wonder what higher quality oolongs taste like on their own.. BECAUSE THIS IS PRETTY GREAT TO ME! It’ll be interesting to compare. I’ve got some Monkey-picked oolong at home that I can try and see the difference!

The only thing I have against this tea is that it leaves my mouth feeling dry after taking a sip.

I’ll definitely be picking some of this up for work!

Bio

I’m pretty new to the tea drinking world, only started drinking it regularly about a year ago.

I like green, white, and herbal, fruity teas. I haven’t gone out of my comfort zone a lot. I’m open to trying new things though! Oolongs are what I’ve been getting into recently.

It’s a rare thing for me to actually finish my tea. Reason being I like to take a couple sips over a long period of time, and for some reason those last 2 sips I always forget about until they are gross and cold. Aww. D:

I’d love to tea trade with anyone interested!
