This is an intensely floral tea. It smells and tastes like a lilac bush, which is not a bad thing in my case but might not be for everyone. It definitely tastes like an oolong, but so far I’m not sure it’s strong enough for me.

The brewed tea is a very light green: I’d suggest brewing this in a clear glass or it’ll be difficult to tell when it’s done. I got this in my first Steepster Select box and had trouble with the filters at first. It was brewing so light that I thought something was wrong. Once I tried steeping with something else I realized the steeped tea was mostly staying inside the filter and not, well, filtering through. The tea is very light regardless, but it tastes much better steeped in something else.

Since my first cup had some problems I’ll also be logging my second to see about any differences.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
