So, it’s been a while (again…!). My course has been quite busy, but on my few afternoons/days off, I’ve been treating myself to some tea therapy. This oolong was a recent treat, brewed up in the lovely Yixing pot that I bought over the Summer from Verdant!

Thankfully, it didn’t disappoint AT all. The tea was lovely, with a minerally, cinnamon and fruit flavour at the beginning, with some really delicious vanilla notes later. I used near-boiling water and did loads of short steeps – the tea was still flavoursome after a good 10-or-so steeps!

Definitely glad I gave this a try, and all the more glad that I chose to dedicate that beautiful Yixing pot to darker oolongs, such as this!

Flavors: Cinnamon, Fruity, Vanilla

Preparation
6 OZ / 180 ML

Bio

Junior doctor and casual tea-drinker.

It’s been a busy few years for me – I’ve graduated from med school and I’m now working full time as a junior doctor in a small UK hospital. I’ve returned Steepster to continue to learn, take recommendations and share my experiences :-)

I remain particularly keen to try lots of new teas, especially Pu Erhs and Oolongs!

I’m also happy to swap, particularly within the UK! If you see anything in my cupboard that you wanna try, please don’t be afraid to ask! Most of them I have at least 25 g of, so a 5 g sample or so will be no trouble :-)
