Tasting note #1,500!! whoa. And I WAS able to make 10/10 sipdowns before this tasting note. I wanted a great tea for #1,500 so I thought I’d give this one a try from my recent order. I wasn’t going to order this one but as I was making my choices, this one kept calling to me… it sounded like a lovely blend if done right and it is BETTER than I could have expected!
Steep #1 // 1 tsp // 30 min after boiling // 4 min
First, it’s a gorgeous blend with lovely red and purple flowers added. Next, the steeped cup of tea actually smells plummy so you know the flavor will be spot on. And it IS. Oh my gosh, the perfect levels of plum and cheesecake in this very dark leafed oolong but very light brew. It’s juicy, sweet, spot on plum with hints of cheesecake. I don’t think I’ve ever had this type of oolong before but it’s a good one. I think I steeped it perfectly.
Steep #2 // 30 min after boiling // 4 min
Another lovely plumy cup. The flavor has diminished a little bit, but not drastically enough to make a second steep not worth it. I love taking the tiniest sips to savor this one and I will certainly savor the rest of the pouch I bought! Glad I ended up buying a little of this one. A little pricey for me, but worth it!
Congrats on 1500!!!
Yay, a milestone! (I blew past my… 2500, I believe).
Thank you both. :D
