Very creamy, vanilla tasting oolong with a right amount of banana flavor. Real pieces of banana is a nice touch. A friend who isn’t too knowledgeable about tea enjoyed it a lot. I actually wanted to pick up milk oolong from DM, had a craving for it, but since they were out tried this and wasn’t disappointed. I can see myself enjoying this tea quite a lot, it’s subtle enough but still packs a good punch.
I was always a huge fan of teas but my tastes changed constantly. Lately I am on the path of discovering Chinese teas, but not limiting myself to that. I am, however, favoring straight teas at this point.
I love pu-erh, oolongs are always a treat, learning about greens is delicious, absolutely neutral towards rooibos or herbals and black is always a yes. Incidentally any combination of the above is ok in a blended tea, which I like to have time to time.
« The first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island. »
