Once again I bought a sample of a tea based on the name…Buddha Hand. Come on…sometimes we all get a giggle out of a name!
First off, this tea is truly resteepable. I used one tea filter filled with a teaspoon & was able to get four 16oz cups out of it! I probably could have gotten a fifth cup, but decided I wanted a different flavor tea this afternoon. So for this, the tea is definitely worth the price!
As for the flavor…I would describe it as mellow, but a strong tea. I didn’t get too much citrus like others are claiming. There is a mild citrus taste. So maybe I didn’t make it strong enough? However I did get a bit of a buttery flavor that everyone keeps mentioning. It felt very creamy & smooth. And I only added a pinch of sugar. No milk.
This is my first Oolong tea, so I can’t compare it to anything just yet. But I did enjoy it & I did get a little energy boost from it.
I would definitely buy this tea again. And I will definitely now try other Oolong teas.
Oolongs are quite an adventure, and there are so many varieties to try. :))
I’m looking forward to trying others now. I enjoyed this one.
Oolongs are my favorite. Of all teas I have had, they are the sweetest and most fun. : )
I have to say, I’m sorry I only have the sample bag on it. I love that I was able to resteep it so many times. I like a good tea like that when I am at work since I can’t really make my tea the way I want. So this was a big bonus for me.
