drank Oolong Tea by Lovare
1847 tasting notes

Received from postcrossing from Ukraine. Sender claims it is okay tea, good for bagged, but that she prefers loose leaf one. I was so happy to hear something about the tea from another tea lover!

And I have to agree completely. It smells bit roasty, but actually it is hidden florals. Steeped for 4 minutes, 90°C water (was boiling about two minutes before I filled the mug). After steeping it brought pretty nice aroma of florals again, not sure about the lilac they claim; but it was nice. Nice taste as well, but kinda vegetal for me and slight astringency as well. Bit mood boosting as well, could be little bit on oolong side, than green – if I do a blind tasting, I would think it is another good, but not great, green tea.

Song pairing: nothing actually, but listened to few Placebo songs, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JJAXwAaA2w

Have you seen Placebo in concert?

Unfortunately not derk but I like their music and lyrics.

I saw them maybe mid to late 2000s. Worth going if they come close to you (and still sound good).

Nothing close by this season. Kyiv is reachable, but I don’t have money left :)

Bio

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
