My Tealet winnings came in today! This is so exciting! So Much Tea! (and the tins are beautiful too!) Very much looking forward to trying each and every one of them, particularly since the box includes many tea kingdoms that I’ve never even ventured into yet, like genmaichas and pu’ers. But for now, I’m going with a known favorite, this lovely milk oolong. This is very similar in taste and quality to Teavivre’s unflavored milk oolong — it’s definitely on the green side of the oolong spectrum, vegetal and sweet, and yes, a bit milky. The beautifully-rolled dry leaves are very silky when steeped up. Unfortunately I had to use a little strainer on this cup, as my regular tea maker is out of commision, so I couldn’t see just how much the leaves would expand since they didn’t have the room. Overall, excellent cup.
