hawkband1 drank Taiwan Osmanthus Oolong Tea by Teavivre

505 tasting notes

I think this sample is from a long ago swap with delightful kiwi. Sorry it’s taken forever for me to get to these.
200F, 3min, 12 oz
I don’t know what Osmanthus is supposed to taste/smell like, but I’m getting a very intense floral note. That’s really all I can taste. It’s well scented as the flavor continues through to the 2nd cup. Because it’s so strong, I don’t want too much, so it wouldn’t be one I’d purchase. Thanks for the sample though!

Flavors: Osmanthus

Bio

I started my tea journey with Stash/Celestial Seasonings tea bags years ago. All loose leaf, unless I’m sick or traveling.

I like black, oolong, white, herbals, and raw/ripe pu’erh. I don’t drink green tea often.

I play video games, read, and do pottery. My current favorite tea mug is one I threw and glazed.

I generally review teas twice – initial and final steeps.

My cupboard is mostly up to date.

85-100 are teas that I loved and want to keep in stock.
71-84 are teas that are good. I may or may not get them again. Source for daily drinkers/work teas.
60-70 are teas that I didn’t like. I’ll finish what I bought.
Anything less than 60…nope.
