Nepali Oolong

It has been a very kind day to me today from the World of Teas…

I bought this a little while ago but have not had the chance to try it out now. I appreciate that this comes from a small farm in Nepal because this is an area of the world I would like to continue supporting. I got the small wonder tin of this tea which was only $4 an ounce. Truly a bargain.

This is a lovely amber colored tea, indeed it is buttery, I am getting a bit more nectarine than plum. It reminds me of the honey phoenix which I also got from the Tao of Tea… This is tasty and toasty with a rich mouthfeel. A hint of buttered toast with jam. A mellow and relaxing cup…

In the interest of full disclosure I like most plain oolongs I have tried, even the one served at the Chinese Restaurant down the street!

This has a faded fresh yet cocoa-powder aroma to it before infusing.

The leaves are WILD and fun! Almost a natural tye-dyed effect or natural/earthy colors! LOVE these leaves!

WOW! The smell of this completely changes as it infuses! A nice, unique scent. Buttery but very plum-like with a hint of nuttiness!

The leaves are swimming and dancing around in my cup…very active lil buggers!

The color of the liquor is very light brown with almost a greyness to it.

The taste is very pure. Seems to quench my thirst. There are both fruity and nutty hints present…maybe more plum notes than nut notes tho. This is a VERY Impressive Oolong! It’s creamy, too! And Buttery! yes! A lovely Buttery end sip on to the aftertaste! Ahhhhh! I like this a lot!

My last of this one. Used a little more leaf to finish it off and really can taste the buttery flavor. I’m sad to see the last of this tea.
