Taiwan Shan Lin Xi Oolong Tea from Nuvola Tea

tperez drank Taiwan Shan Lin Xi Oolong Tea by Nuvola Tea

Holy leaf expansion, Batman!

Saved just a bit of this for the christening of my gaiwan. I was thinking maybe I hadn’t saved enough, but as it turns out, the leaves expanded to fill the entire cup.

I lost track of how many steeps it made around seven. I don’t have much to add to my previous tasting note, but this is an amazing quality oolong! :)

My name is Thomas,

I’ve always loved tea and coffee, but I only started getting into good quality loose tea about a year ago.

My favorites teas right now are pu’erhs, Yunnan blacks, and Taiwanese oolongs. The only non-flavored teas that I don’t really care for are jasmine teas and highly vegetal greens. I’m not that into flavored teas, but I love a good cup of chai.

I’m a junior at University of Central Florida studying Health Services Administration, and I hope to go on to get my master’s degree.

Besides tea, I’m pretty obsessed with music. I’ve played guitar and violin for quite a while in classical styles, rock, etc., and am currently spending most of my music time studying sitar and hindustani sangeet. My music preferences are sort of all over the place.

Also love hiking/camping, Minecraft, Dr. Who, and downhill longboarding :)
