98

this is delicious. tastes exactly like Laoshan Black! in fact, it steeps up darker than LB and infuses quicker! and it’s an oolong which has to unfurl, so i imagine it would take a longer time to impart color than its black counterpart but apparently it doesn’t? okay!

i added honey to this as i do with LB. tastes yummy yummy yummy is all. would never guess this were an oolong….

the only difference i can really note is in the smell of the dry leaf….u don’t get the wonderful chocolaty note which jumps out at you as it does in Laoshan Black. but drinking it, you would never know otherwise ;)

Flavors: Brown Toast, Dark Bittersweet, Honey, Toasty

Bio

love tea in every form- from bagged to loose leaf..commercial to niche. i am intrigued by it all & want to learn as much as i can through my 5 senses (tho with tea i’ll presumably be using 3)..am a very sensorial person. love music, perfume, poetry, graphic design, India, Malaysia, Moorish architecture, oh….and tea!

apparently i’m really out of the loop here since i appear to be among the only ones who have not yet tried Golden Moon, Butiki, 52teas, Mandala, Teavivre or Della Terra. i mean REALLY. i need to start lifting this rock up over my head y’all. from the looks of things, i’ve been reenacting Groundhog’s Day every hour on the hour with my uniformed choices. i seek to be anointed!

also, don’t take my numbers too literally; they can’t possibly speak to the actual quality of the tea, much less to the constancy of my own perceptions! what i may feel to be an 88 one day, could very well be a 91 the next, or even 100, depending on my taste buds, blood sugar levels, neuronal firings or planetary alignment ;)
