Yay, more oolongs from Verdant came yesterday. Traditional tieguanyin and Big Red Robe Wuyi. The latter I don’t care much for on its own but it makes a fabulous oolong bubble tea.
Bubble tea is a taiwanese drink with gummy tapioca pearls called boba. There are a myriad of different flavors (fruity, milky teas, smoothies) and roasted oolong is one of my favorite.
BTW, I take back what I said about Big Red Robe. I had it tonight and the tea is quite good both straight and in bubble tea.
Heavily roasted wuyis are often very charcoal-y. I tried one from Teavivre and What-Cha recently and both were too roasted. Lower temperature and less leaf may help.
Today I got my order from Dragon Tea House, three black teas and two ripe puerh cakes.

I had to go to Saskatoon today to finish packing the rest of my stuff and clean the apartment, and when I got there I had a package waiting from TeaNTees with the most adorable Spiderman T-Shirt and some tea samples in it!
