Green Oolong Tea

Got this free with another order. Love that EnjoyingTea lets you pick some freebies to try!
You know there are days when I just want to plop a bag in a cup and not worry about it. This is a decent oolong for that! Was in a hurry – I may have to leave the house at any moment as grandmother is in the hospital so didn’t want to have to baby sit a steeping tea let alone waste one. This fit the bill. It has a nice flavor distinctly oolong – granted not a TOP notch oolong but not shabby!

This oolong teabag was sent to me by Azzrian… but I’m 95% certain it’s not a green oolong. It steeped up pretty dark, and smells more like genmaicha, but could also be a darker oolong.

Oh dear. I thought 3 minutes would be appropriate but I think it’s oversteeped :( I suppose it should have occurred to me that it’s a teabag, and therefore will infuse stronger/more quickly! Blah. I think I have another one of these left, so will have to try again later. The flavour (minus the astringency/bitterness) isn’t bad though; kind of sweet/nutty/toasty.

And thus concludes Round 1 of plowing through all the tea samples I have left to try! A good number of hits, and the misses are because that’s all I had left to try! :)

Smells like moss. Tastes creamy tho. Not too shabby for a bagged oolong.
