Got my sample yesterday! Thanks Geoff and Max at Temple Road. I was sold on my first cup. I could pick up the smoke aroma and flavour along with malt . In the background was a bit of the milky flavour that is typical of the milk oolongs. I only got one infusion from that cup but today being Saturday I have brewed another. Second infusion the milky flavour becomes less and more of the smoke malt flavour comes through. I am now on my 3rd infusion and I thought I would try something different. Forgive me Geoff and Max but I couldn’t resist. I added some fresh cut up strawberries to the 3rd infusion and I love it. This infusion has given me a very light tasting oolong (it started out very rich and strong) with a light strawberry flavour. I had to purchase this tea because after tasting I just can’t be without it! The shipping is very good coming all the way from Taiwan to Canada.

Green teas are my favourite teas but I also enjoy: white, some herbal,rooibos, raw pu’erh, light oolongs, a little bit of black , and a little bit of ripe pu’erh. I have moved away from artificial flavourings and there’s hardly anything left in my cabinet with artificial flavouring or colours. It is mostly straight teas or tea blends.
