After a pleasurable bout of food poisoning yesterday, my stomach and head are still tender and throwing a big wrench in my marathon tea drinking plans. Overly sweet and floral teas are currently out, which is unfortunately the majority of my cupboard.
Given the situation, this lovely tea is perfect. The delicious and, most importantly, bland rice flavouring flows perfectly into the creamy and slightly vegetal notes of this jin xuan. I can’t tell where the flavouring ends and the oolong begins.
I’ll have to remember to stock up on more smooth and silky ripe puerhs and milk oolongs like this one for rainy days. They are a balm and they are essential.
Steep count: 6 (and still going strong, but I think that’s it for the evening)
Even in latter steeps the sticky rice flavour retains the intensity of it’s nutty sweetness; it puts me in mind of almond milk.

Oh geez, do you know what you got food poisoning from? I hope you’ll feel better soon. :(
Thanks :)
I have no clue. There were so many contenders (starbucks, subway, thai food, old bacon). Luckily, the worst symptoms only lasted a day!
I’m glad you’re over the worst part at least! I know a few people who have gotten food poisoning from Subway, sadly. Hmm.
Subway has given me an upset stomach before but this was on another level. I wish I knew for sure what did it. At least I have consolation tea :P
