Nostalgia Dong Ding Oolong with Jasmine and Fresh Mint

This smells like old lady perfume.

BUT…don’t let that stop ya!!!!

The taste is quite good! A nice flavored Oolong – somewhat creamy. The perfume aroma does go into the taste – at least for me it did. It was a very floral tasting jasmine – not funky or fake or bitter, thankfully! The mint is more on the end of the sip on to the aftertaste. The mint is more subtle than I thought it would be but then again I couldn’t really smell the mint because of the perfume aroma…

This is VERY special…very unique…E for EFFORT that is for sure! The taste is very different from the aroma and pretty good, indeed!

This is interesting.

First of all, it smells absolutely wonderful. One of the most incredible jasmine scents ever. The mint rests in the background, but with each sniff comes a stronger mint essence, but the jasmine remains just as strong – creating an olfactory delight.

As this is a perfumed tea I expected it to taste perfume-y. But the flavor is unlike what I expected. The jasmine is strong and fresh, but it doesn’t taste perfume-y in an artificial way. It tastes very natural, and the Oolong melds with the jasmine note to become part of that. The mint comes through very lightly.

This is truly a delight for the nose as well as the palate.
