I think I know better now. I bought a ton of this when I fell in love with it, not realizing that I was doing that with every tea I loved, and you really can’t drink 200 teas before they get stale when you buy seven or eight ounces of each.
Still, as old as this is, it is delicious and I love it. It is labeled green, but it HAS to be a milk oolong. I realize it is also probably a scented one, but I love it anyway. It smells like sweet butter, like popcorn, like nomnomnom.
I served it to a student today (what is it with all these kids being willing to try new things? I wouldn’t have at their age! My first student is 9 and has fallen in love with white tea at my house. I invited her to come over to try my new white tangerine when it gets here.) She agreed that it is smooth and buttery.
Very nice that it resteeps well, too. When I run out of this one, I think I will replace it with a Teavivre Ali Shan.
This tea is soooo gooooood. I agree, it seems to be a milk oolong.
I just took a sip of this one and then saw your tasting note was the next one down. :D
Oh AND I picked this one today because I was thinking of it when I was half asleep today.
