drank Alishan Jin Xuan Oolong by Tea Ave
67 tasting notes

I wasn’t sure what people meant when they described teas – specifically oolong – as “milky”. I get it now. The feel of this oolong is similar to that of sweet cream.

A mild and very pleasant tea, this sample was a gift from a steepster friend. I detect lightly grassy and floral notes – more vegetal than fruity.

Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Grass, Vegetal

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 1 min, 15 sec 5 g 6 OZ / 177 ML

I love milk oolong. I need to order Premium Silky Green from Bird Pick Tea for you and the missus to try. It smells exactly like buttered popcorn. They sell it as a green but we steepsterites are sure it is actually a milk oolong.

Oh yeah, milk oolongs are special.

Bio

I’ve heard others refer to me as a Renaissance man. I’m more apt to describe myself in a sentence ending with “…and master of none.”

I play music. I design and build things. I love art and quirky stuff. And I have a really cool wife.

In an attempt at a more graceful aging, I entered the wonderful world of tea for its health benefits in 2017. A home roaster and seasoned coffee-ologist, I dove quickly in, gleaning knowledge from every source possible and tasting all I could afford to buy, beg or borrow. Hundreds of cups, pots, bags and blends into it, I still consider myself a neophyte Steepster.

I’ve discovered I am a huge fan of Pu-erh and Assam, and quickly warmed up to Oolong, Yunnan Blacks, Keemun, and Matcha.

I enjoy Tisanes, too. We buy herbs in bulk and blend for both benefits and taste. In that order.
