Severe Degree of Fermentation Oolong Tea from GoeTea
88

If anyone else received this one and knows how to read Japanese – by all means – EDIT this tea!!!!

This was the tightest packaged tea I have ever come across. The FRESHNESS and aroma is truly amazing tho! Well worth the vacuum-packed effort!

I will be doing an infusion test with this one…here is the 1st infusion’s findings…

The aroma is a little like slightly salted butter. The taste is a little like buttered veggies but not as intense with the buttered notes as some I have tasted. It’s brothy and savory.

This is darned tasty! I feel like I’m eating something rather than drinking something!

I don’t know if it’s Japanese, or Taiwanese, or possibly Mandarin? I really don’t know. (and no need to apologize, I was just feeling silly) I have a bag of tea that my husband brought home to me a few weeks ago (maybe even longer than that now), that I can’t read… it’s a Chinese White tea that one of his co workers procured for me from China. But, I can’t read it. LOL so I don’t know how to log it. So, it’s just sitting here at my desk, in its pretty little package, calling out to me and I have to ignore it because I don’t know what the heck it is. LOL

But, back to the ITFA teas… It’s very hard to read the labels sometimes, I usually turn to the informational packet that they include in the shipment for information about the teas.

Hummmm, you tempted me, than mentioned buttery and salty in the taste/flavoring and I have decided it is not to be for me. It has been a while since I had Oolong teas of my own since having finished all of mine.

Nice review thank you. I hope to be around you guys, at times it is nice to be here. Things are really tough on me. Again good review as always.

Sorry to say, no hope there. It just has to be so. Pr-determinism; to keep repeating the past so next generation fairs best. It just is.
