Traveling Tea Box C #13
This is a very roasty oolong. I steeped it 4 times. The first steep smelled like burnt coffee but was definitely a creamy tea. Dark chocolate is not supposed to be creamy. It’s bitter. I took a whole class on chocolate and tasted what raw cacao tastes like and all types of high quality dark chocolate taste like. And this resembles that perfectly. And I love it. I will be keeping the last teaspoon of this :) thank you Shelley_Lorraine for adding this! I had this all day today!

I had this all day today, too! :D
There’s a new harvest of this coming in the next week or so. If you’d like, I can let you know what it gets in. It’s tastier than the one you got! :)
This tea takes on so many different flavor attributes depending on how you steep it. You should try whispering pines super-long steep recommendation too (10 min). Some day, I’ll need to try their suggestion for adding ice cream…
Sure could! I’ll also have the most amazing tieguanyin in at the same time!
Speaking of 10 minute steeps, you should try my top-secret rolled oolong steeping…
Okay, it’s not top secret, but it’s definitely awesome! :)

The new harvest of Dark Chocolate Oolong is in stock, as well as the new Traditional Tieguanyin! :) http://whisperingpinestea.com/pureoolongtea.html
We also just revamped all of our jasmine teas. I’d recommend The Sleeping Bear Blend and Whisper of the Woods. Annnnd we have just finished the first puerh blend, Autumn Foxtrot – http://whisperingpinestea.com/autumnfoxtrot.html
Let me know if you’ve got any questions!
Ohhh! I just saw that you live in SLO! :) Whispering Pines actually started in Arroyo Grande two years ago. It’s beautiful over there!
I’ve had this tea in my cart for the padt week ha ha along with another.
No way! Where at? Is there a storefront??
Ohh, fun! :) The cart saves for 1,000 hours, so you’re good ;)
Whispering Pines has always been (and probably will always be) a home business. We lived right across from broadway bagel. :) I worked at splash cafe for a while while my company was starting up.
You may recognize some of the sights in these videos of me :)

I worked at splash café for a little when I first moved here! But now I’m a full time baker at slo baked bakery. Broadway bagel? I though there was only the house of bagel which I’m am not a fan of at allllllll! I love panera breads bagels and spreads, but nothing is as good as the bagels back home in salinas at the bagel corner.
