Sipdown 23 – 2024
A few years ago I got really sick of any type of roasted oolong, so I stopped buying them entirely and haven’t had one in a while. This is a good reminder of why I don’t like them. The roast flavor covers up the tea itself and I just can’t taste anything except the roast.
The roast on this is light but it’s still so dominant that I can’t taste anything else.
Flavors: Charcoal, Roasted
Hello! I live in Los Angeles with my boyfriend and 3 cats [+however many foster cats I have at the moment]. I’m also obsessed with all things spooky.
I became obsessed with the world of tea through DavidsTea years ago. I love to try new brands, so I’m constantly on the look out for new-to-me companies.

Though, I’ll taste anything once!
I mainly brew western style.I like my tea extremely strong, so I tend to use wayyyyy more dry leaf than suggested.

This is also why I don’t gravitate toward roasted oolongs. It’s rare to find one where you can taste the tea.
Glad I’m not alone!
