DIY Advent Calendar – Day 8
Sipdown (257)
I think my brain is having an off day…which is so great this close to exams. I say this because in addition to the tasting note deleting that just happened, I also managed to dump the rest of the dry leaf of tea on my table and then knock the table which caused the liquid tea to splash out onto the dry leaf. So that last serving got tossed.
I was sad for the waste but having tried the tea now, its not much of a loss. This tea is oolong and mallow. I hoped the mallow would do more but ultimately this just tasted like a mediocre and rather bland oolong tea. Nothing offensive but nothing of any interest either. So not such a big loss after all.
Also, this is my 3rd Dollar Tea Club tea in my DIY advent for the first 8 days. My tea randomizer really likes Dollar Tea Club it seems.
Randomizers are tricky sometimes. For example sometimes they select something just right to the mood, but I remember month of really bad songs in my playlist, haha!
I guess its been good because its been helping me get a lot of sipdowns of fairly mediocre teas. So in that sense, I am alright with it.
At least you didn’t waste a tea you really liked!
This is a nice roasted jade oolong with notes of roasted barley, orchid, minerals. Lightly astringent (probably because I over steeped this both times I made this tea) but pleasant.
Flavors: Astringent, Floral, Mineral, Orchid, Roasted Barley, Toasted Rice
