This is another strongly flavored oolong that I chose because my sense of smell isn’t fully recovered and I miss oolong. Thankfully the coconut is strong enough that I was able to pick up some of the smell. Plus the coconut taste and creamy texture still came across well. I got three good steeps out of it in a purple mug I brought back from Taiwan. We went ceramics shopping on Yingge Street and I got loads of great stuff – a cute mini tea set for display, chopstick rests, ceramic rice scoops, a gaiwan, a black jade teacup, a few mugs and teacups… I’m sure I’m forgetting something but the point is that it was awesome and I only regret not getting a certain purple gaiwan that I really liked. Most of what we bought wasn’t exceptionally fancy or expensive but it is all very pretty and legitimately useful, which is what we prioritized. The mug I steeped up this oolong in is glazed on the inside and painted shades of purple on the outside. It even has a cute lid with a curlicue handle! It helped me get the most possible enjoyment out of this tea today.
Leaving the rating where it was.
