Zhi Zhi Oolong Tea

This is a bottled gardenia oolong tea that I coworker brought for me to try yesterday!

I think she must have got it from T&T or one of the other Asian markets in the city because the packaging was entirely in Chinese except for a sticker slapped on the back with the NFT, the name “Zhi Zhi Oolong Tea”, and a translated ingredient list.

It’s unclear whether it’s gardenia scented oolong or oolong with gardenia flavouring because the ingredients just listed “oolong with gardenia flavour” which could honestly go either way pending on how much was lost in translation or not. However, taste wise it was light and refreshingly floral! Definitely a very delicate gardenia note, but well suited with this greener oolong used in the drink. I didn’t much care for the aftertaste which was sweet in an out of place way, and looking at the ingredients that does make sense because there’s erythritol in the beverage. But other than that small factor I thought this was really nice. I’m loving that gardenia seems to be becoming increasingly more popular!
