drank 2021 Spring Alishan Oolong by Mountain Stream Teas
1393 tasting notes

A wonderful surprise from Cameron!

I have an exam at 6a tomorrow, and green oolongs help my concentration. I really enjoyed the Ali Shan from CS, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try this one. I love the mellow flavour here, with the most subtle hints of bitterness intermingled with floral notes.

1st steep: 1 minute
2nd steep: 2 minutes 30 seconds

Thanks Cameron :)

Exam at 6 am would make me cry. Maybe it means you have the rest of the day to enjoy, though. I hope so!

Don’t talk about exams… pretty please.
Can’t wait for break from work, but then my studies start again.

Bio

I love black tea and this is usually what’s in my mug. I’m also happy to enjoy a cup of green or red rooibos, herbals, oolongs (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted), whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
