Tea Swap—Backlog

Quick Note

Last night I was craving some oolong, so I grabbed the sample of Ginseng Oolong. I figured that oolong wasn’t anything to potent in caffeine content, but I was craving something other than my “work stash” teas.

I must note that I thought that this was too sweet to enjoy. It took 5-6 steeps to get into the tea; which was hard for me to drink the 3rd and 4th cup(s). I thought that the 5-6th cups were the most satisfactory, due to the nature of the oolong being less overpowered by the sweetness of, what I assume, the ginseng; however, it was an ok tea.

I have had a somewhat similar experience. Then I brewed it western style and almost preferred it better due to both the tea and ginseng being able to mingle together right away. Your results may vary. Haha

Drinking down a lot of my teas in 2020. I may not observe these sessions as much as I’d like, but I’ll note them, when the mood strikes.
