drank Taiwan Red Oolong Tea by What-Cha
737 tasting notes

Thanks for the freebie in my latest order. November 2019 harvest.

More aromatic than full of flavor. Aroma notes of baked fruits, lychee, peach, blueberry, strong woody-floral cinnamon, nutmeg, apricot, brown sugar, golden syrup, rose, wood furniture. Most notable is the sweetness, very much like asian pear with a thinned, almost watery simple syrup. Cooling. Tastes and aftertaste are more retronasal than on the tongue, possessing the same notes as the aroma; very little evolution of flavor when prepared gongfu.

This is a very friendly tea. I would recommend it to those looking to explore oolong!

Among my favorites are all teas Nepali, sheng puerh, Wuyi yancha, Taiwanese oolong, a variety of black (red) teas from all over, herbal tisanes. I keep a few green and white teas on hand. Shou puerh is a cold weather brew. Tiny teapots and gaiwans are my usual brewing vessels when not preparing morning cups western style and pouring into my work thermos. Friend of teabags.
