I experienced lots of tea excitement this week end so tonight, I need to go to an old friend of mine.

It saddens me to see that this type of oolong isn’t more popular on here. It’s pretty spectacular to me. I’ve reviewed it more than once, so tonight I’m just gonna reiterate how precious it is.

It’s aged and roasted, so you must expect something that doesn’t taste like your average tea. Very sweet, charcoal notes and caramel, a true liquid crème brûlée.

The brew has a certain bite to it, it kind of tastes like mocha and black rich coffee. It keeps changing and evolving at every steep, a real chameleon!

If you like to get out of your comfort zone and try something different, go for this or 1991 Da Ye Aged Oolong. They are both superb aged oolong and give you a run for your money, they steep forever…

Oh boy, do I have some fond memories of this one… Definitely need to reorder sometime soon if it is still available.

Terri HarpLady

Been awhile since I had this one. I probably should have included some I my recent order…

TheTeaFairy

I know right? I’ve been siping two litres of water on this so far…and it’s still giving, getting sweeter and sweeter.

MzPriss

I just ordered some because of this note.

TheTeaFairy

Haha! Hope you like it. I call it my caramel charcoal tea :-)

MzPriss

It sounds so yummy.

TeaTiff

I almost place an order on Friday night…… The logical side of me got the better of it. Soon enough.

MzPriss

I wish I had a logical side when it comes to tea. It would come in so handy.

TheTeaFairy

Oh yes, more logic for me please ;-)

MzPriss

Do you think logic takes Visa? What do reckon shipping is on it?

TheTeaFairy

Lol, wonder if Logic sells on ebay…

MzPriss

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
