drank Rose Oolong by Tea Ave
2201 tasting notes

Quick note about my gongfu experiences with this one. Equusfell and I shared it yesterday in a nice little session. I feel that I enjoyed it a little more gongfu-style, but it still fell a little flat. Not enough rose, and the base tea just didn’t seem to work very well with it. Still no creaminess or floral notes (other than the added rose). Not sure why this one didn’t turn out for me (when the base definitely worked with some others), but so it goes.

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
