Meh… I don’t think I’ve developed an appreciation for oolong yet. I don’t see what all the fuss is about. I steeped this correctly and it was okay. Tasted okay. Just okay. So I gave it an okay rating. I will try resteeping this so I can see what all the resteeping nonsense is about with oolong… but I’m sure it will just be okay.
My passion for tea started at a very young age, thanks to my grandmothers beautiful china tea cup collection. I use to brew Tetley’s or whatever version of Orange Pekoe she had in the cupboard and pick out my favourite tea cup to use. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I really started to develop a passion for it. My town had the Urban Tea Merchant and it was there I was exposed to high tea and the very fancy Mariage Freres brand. When they switched over to The O Dor, my girlfriend and I found salvation in going for a lovely cup of tea and decompress with some tea scones.
It has since become an obsession. I have a tea cupboard, filled with a very large variety of teas. I also use the Breville Tea Maker to make my tea. I favour black teas, with a close second being North African Mint Green Tea. Because I have the luxury of working from home, I get to enjoy a wonderful cup of tea every morning, and the journey resets daily.

Have you tried any unflavoured oolongs? That might help?
No I haven’t tried unflavoured oolongs before other than this one, which is pretty flavourless… I guess I need to do that to see what the fuss is about and go from there.
