Time for some Oolong!
I almost (almost!) wish that I had postponed brewing this tea, because, shortly after I had, there was a knock on the door from FedEx delivering my order from Old Wilmington. Woo hoo – I like it when I receive two tea orders in one day! (The other one was from 52Teas)
But, I’m only “almost” wishing I had postponed this brewing, because, well, it’s hard to be disappointed in having a cup of this fantastic Oolong tea.
The honey notes are really profound in this cup. You really don’t need to add anything extra to the cup to get all this sweetness… it just naturally tastes like honey! In fact, this reminds me a lot of back when I was much younger. When I used to get sick, before I really got “into” tea the way I am now, and if I happened to be out of tea, I would heat up some water, squeeze a little lemon and add a generous dollop of honey… and drink hot, honeyed lemon water to soothe my sore throat. That is what this tastes like, sans the lemon.
Yummy Yummy Oolong! Many more infusions to enjoy!

Second infusion is just as lovely as the first. Deep, golden brown colored liquor, sweet honey taste. delicious!

Oh! That sounds good!
I managed three full-flavored infusions from the leaves… I probably could have gotten at least one more, but, I am anxious to try some of the honeybush I got from 52Teas!!!
