Yellow Gold Oolong
There’s a new gold rush in town and while we can’t promise it will make you rich, this tea will definitely make you feel like a million dollars. The hand-rolled leaves of our Yellow Gold Oolong open beautifully to create a complex mix of sweetness and tangyness topped off with notes of fresh grass.
To Enjoy: Use 1 tsp per cup, add water that is just off the boil (around 90-95°C) and brew for 3 mins. Serve immediately or remove leaves. Best without milk. The leaves can be reinfused.

What Eteaket calls “tangyness with a hint of fresh grass” is hitting me as “lime with a hint of floor cleaner.” But in a good way, if that’s possible. Not a bit of chemical, but definitely a citrusy-clean thing happening. The way you want your house to smell.
Lovely for a breezy afternoon at Shabby House. Temps in the mid 70’s, clean post-rain sunshine. I want to bottle this weather.
The leaves looked beautiful, all rolled up and bobbing on the surface of the water. I have to say, though, this is not my favourite oolong. I find it not so much grassy as straw-like, and with a very dry aftertaste. It’s almost certainly my palette’s own shortcomings rather than the actual quality of the tea, but I’d not recommend it unless you like seriously robust flavours and possibly grew up on a farm.
Backlog
Hmm I don’t know what it is, but all of the teas I’ve tried from Eteaket have tasted savory to me, even ones that boast being “sweet”. This is no exception. I had written a review for this a couple days ago but I guess I forgot to post it and it ended up refreshing and deleting it all, and I seem to have lost the rest of my sample so I can’t even have another cup to refresh my memory.
I do remember that unlike orange oolong supreme, this is made with whole leaves rolled up into knobby balls. And that the tea steeped up yellow and was savory and sort of citrusy and sort of vegetal. But that’s all I remember.
