From Verdant Tea

Since it’s invention just a few seasons ago, the He Family has been sharing their technique with their neighbors; now five families in Laoshan are producing Laoshan Oolong. It is affectionately called “Dou Dou Cha” (little soy bean tea) by everyone in Laoshan, both for Laoshan teas’ unique “soy bean” aroma and for the oolong’s adorable rolled shape. This Spring, Mr. He reserved part of his family’s top grade harvests specifically to create this special reserve grade Roasted Oolong.

Nice and dark, the chocolate was very evident when smelled dry with subtle hints of licorice. On steeping, the chocolate faded with more vegital notes coming forward. It’s mild, smooth and dry.

This tea is a dark oolong that is deep amber in color and has a chocolaty aroma. It is sweet and savory with a strong flavor of chocolate and a little bit of wheat flavor on the back end. The reserve has a more pronounced chocolate flavor and is tastier than the Laoshan Roasted Oolong.

Flavors: Chocolate, Wheat

noms. Enjoying this one again today since i need to get to 100 if i want any orders this weekend AND because it’s close enough to LB that it’s like a treat today. I need enjoyable drinking things since it’s operation “tear the house apart.” We’ve been putting off going through things in the house with the intent of getting rid of things we haven’t used in years and i’ve put a deadline for us of Dec 15 – when we start dog sitting for three weeks. So everything is going in to piles – keep, donate and trash. 900 CD’s? DONATE! (after making digital copies of them all…) etc.

OMGsrsly

Dog sitting for THREE WEEKS?! Haha. Man, I need your guys energy. I need to do the same since they’ll be replacing all the plumbing in my apartment.

Sil

hahaha i figure it’ll be a good way to keep me leaving the house and getting exercise – i tend to hibernate in colder months, as evidenced by my step count being waaaaaay down. :(

OMGsrsly

Oh yeah. You guys have that weather thing you deal with out there. I’m just hoping my feets stop hurting and I can start walking again.

THIS is just the kind of inspiration/motivation that I need. Well, without the dog component. As for CDs, take them to Vortex Records and sell them. They’ll buy classics and resell able ones.

Sil

Thanks for the recommendation! It’d be nice to get a little money for them even if it’s like 1$ a pop.

OMGsrsly

I need a place that will take CDs that don’t have the cases. I have so many, but ditched the cases ages ago to make them easier to move. :/

Sil

haha my cases all exist. i refused to ditch them because LINER NOTES! haha i was a dork

Kristal

Good plan! I have 2-3 things I need to put on kijiji myself. Plus, I’ve been using up any tea that I’ve bought before 2015.

Sil

heh my tea goal has always been to have a cupboard that is at most 6 months old… but i’m settling for a year old – though ignoring puerh, i’m generally at an 9 month old cupboard.

Kristal

I agreem Sil. My oldest teas are maybe just slightly over 1 year. I agree that I want most of my teas to be 6 months old or less :)

Sil

doesn’t work so well when you go to paris and buy 3.5kg of tea lol

Kristal

haha that’ll throw a wrench in the system ;)!

Evol Ving Ness

Sil, they’re pretty picky about the ones they’ll buy. You might want to call them to fact check. I think you might need to make an appointment to resell as well as it can be a time-taking process.
