threewhales drank Plum Oolong by The Jade Teapot

Got a sample of this tea. I am comparing this tea to another plum oolong that I have in my cupboard. This sample from The Jade Teapot is full of plump looking mini plums. During the infusion, the plums let off streams of red! Looked really cool in my clear infusion cup. Compared to my other oolong, this one has more plums and less oolong. The taste is very fruity. The color in my mug is peach. The oolong taste is behind the plums. This left me very dry. Astringent…maybe too much so.

STAY CALM AND DRINK TEA

Steam rises from a cup of tea

and we are wrapped in history,

inhaling ancient times and lands,

comfort of ages in our hands.
