2003 Reserve Four Season Oolong from Butiki Teas

Doug F drank 2003 Reserve Four Season Oolong by Butiki Teas

I had been searching for a good aged Oolong and I’m glad I found this excellent tea. Like a great roasted fruit compote, this tea has a great depth of peach and plum flavors. The roasting burnishes the sweetness with a nice bit of autmunal smoke, perfect for this crisp fall day. By the way, Stacy is a pleasure to do business with and added some great samples to my order, including a rarefied Keemun that wasn’t even on the web site yet. I’m giving the other teas I ordered from her a few tries before reviewing them, but they are all quality teas.

Working from home gives me the opportunity to leisurely enjoy fine tea, ride my motorcycle on the roads of beautiful coastal Maine, hike, ski, and run and generally enjoy a sane pace of life with my wife and two young children. While I appreciate great tea, I try not to be a snob about it. I love Golden Yunnans, darjeelings and Pu-erhs. I drink greens and Oolongs less frequently. My purveyors of choice are Upton Tea Imports, Yunnan Sourcing, The Pu-erh Shop, and Mark T. Wendell, but I’m open to sampling teas from other sources if anyone has suggestions. I always drink tea straight and rarely drink flavored teas or Tisanes, except for the occasional Rooibos.
