The more I drink this tea, the more I enjoy it. really rich color and scent. Perfect for my morning tea of choice.
This is the style of brown oolong that generations of Americans loved. It was the toasty flavor that they enjoyed. Don’t worry about the stems, that is how the Taiwanese do this tea.
I’m not sure why I felt like Oolong this morning. This is a nice nutty toasty tasting tea. This tea is smooth w/o any bitterness or astringency. I’m getting ready to leave on vacation tomorrow and I just needed a nice relaxing tea. I’m hoping to buy more tea in various locations. I’m taking 3 weeks to drive down the east coast so if anyone knows any great tea shops along the way, please let me know.
This toasty Oolong is a great way to begin (or continue!) an afternoon.
Drinking Formosa Oolong by Harney & Sons. What is it about me that has me drinking my favorites all week long without venturing into all those untasted teas in my cupboard, I ask?
Some days, I guess, require the familiar tried and true.
Back to the tea: Wonderful smoothness, no bitterness, just a smidgen of briskness (really, just the teeniest-tiniest bit) which may be the product of over-steeping (I know, I know, for shame, but got distracted for a second or two), beautiful clear light brown color, the scent of a satisfied oolong. This one is straight oolong — not flavored with any other fruit or anything else I can detect. This one is my comfort oolong.
The more I drink this tea, the more I enjoy it. really rich color and scent. Perfect for my morning tea of choice.
