1.5 tsp (for me that’s 4.5 grams), and a 4.5 minute brewing time. What does this tell you? This is a dark heavy cup of tea. It smells almost alcoholic, the same sensation you get when taking a whiff of bourbon or scotch. You also get a very strong caramel note, more pronounced than almost anything I’ve had. How does it taste? Good but also bad. I can’t make up my mind. I don’t think I like it. But it’s not bad. It’s like eating venison. Your mind is so confused because it’s gamey but it’s not necessarily bad. Maybe it’ll grow on me.
Choicest Select Formosa Oolong Tea (TT29)
Oolong Tea by Upton Tea Imports
A delightful addition to our list, representing a value that has been most difficlut to find in recent years. Choicest Oolong is the top grade below Fancy Oolongs. This flavorful tea has much of the complexity of a Fancy Oolong, but can be enjoyed at a moderate price.
