So here is my full confession.
I haven’t had many oolongs, so I don’t really know if I know what’s a good one. My whole life I have been all about the strong, very oxidized teas, and I still love them. Recently when I was trying to put together a Rivertea order I went by the ratings on here and saw that this one was pretty highly rated.
I think I like it. I think the problem is ME. I expect tea to be brown (this isn’t), strong (this isn’t), very hot (not an oolong!) and heavily flavored. I think the issue is that I need to retrain my taste buds to appreciate delicate teas.
When I initially made this, I was waffling on whether to put the rest of it into the TTB or keep trying it to see if I can broaden my tearizons. I think I’ll do the latter.
As a bonus, it doesn’t taste green!
As for me…dude, work has been so busy this week. We got a new Burger King account, Carl’s Jr. starts next week, Volkswagen starts in two weeks, Hill’s pet food any day (who knows?) This is on top of all of our regular stuff. And, I think I need to bring on two more people.

Glad this tea left you willing to experiment with it! I prefer Oolong’s gongfu style or cold brewed.
Congrats on all your work contracts! I feel for you. My cousin owns an industrial Interior design company and work can get insanely busy at times, staffing is a delicate balance between having enough people to fulfill a contract, her desire to maintain creative control, and planning for famine periods. Glad things are going well for you.
I totally shouldn’t be complaining about having too much work, I’m a little ashamed.
Don’t be. There is a point where it can be too much. It becomes difficult to maintain standards and it takes a physical toll on us. In North America we often forget about things such as work life balance at times.
You could try to ease into oolongs with flavored oolongs perhaps?
