I’ve always been a fan of What-Cha and the description of the tea on What-Cha’s website made it sound really yummy. The description said ‘butter’, but when I received the tea ‘nutty’ was on the package.
Anyways, I brewed this tea in my vessel gong-fu style and I first noticed a nutty-creamy taste. It had a cocoa powder after taste that indicated a medium roast. As I brewed this tea it became more pungent and kept packing on a more powerful punch. In it’s medium steeps it started go quickly from smooth to bitter and rough. In its later steeps the nutty flavors started to get more sharp and pungent.
Overall, this wasn’t one of my favorite oolongs. I feel like other people might enjoy it for the fact it carries such a strong punch. I believe this would be a good oolong to introduce a coffee drinker who is ready to make the transition into tea.

My apologies, the tasting notes section were a copy and paste error, with the notes from another tea appearing.
I’ve amended the description and also made it clear to expect a more puerh like tea than an oolong.
@What-Cha You’re on here?! Oh neat!!!
It’s all good! I can definitely see the ‘pu-erh’ aspect in this oolong and I agree with you on that.
This is why What-Cha is my favorite vendor.
@Whiteantlers He’s definitely one of mine too. He’s been very helpful and he seems really cool.
Thanks for your understanding and kind words OolongDrunk :)
I have an order en-route from them. Can’t wait!
Oh, my ordrs from What-Cha are always like Christmas. Enjoy, mrmopar!
@TheOolongDrunk, Mr. What-Cha is as cool as they come.
@Mrmopar What did you get?
@WhiteAntlers Alistair from What-Cha, Paul from White2Tea, and Scott from YunnanSourcing are my absolute favorites. It’s a tie between them on who is my favorite. All equally awesome.
@TheOolongDrunk-good to know! Love your name, by the way. Always makes me smile.
@Whiteantlers awe thank you :)
I’ll be trying this soon…. hopefully I can find a way to make it taste better :P
@LiquidProust Please do and let me know! It’s rare when I dislike an oolong so I’m really curious what others think.
I shall! I’m pretty good at figuring a tea out :)
