I don’t remember how I ended up with a bag of this as opposed to a small sample (maybe from my one time tea of the month trail?), but I’m glad for the larger amount. I usually don’t go for the browner looking oolong types, and it took me by surprise how much I like this one.
There are notes of cream and orchids, which remind me of my greener oolongs, but there’s also a sharper note of sweet orange in the finish and aftertaste that add an extra dimension to this. My empty cup after the first steep has an aroma like orange chocolate liqueur with a dab of honey, chocolate cherries, or something dark like that. This tea is smooth and easy, but not an everyday thing.

I think this was one from Verdant’s 5 for $5 promo. I finished mine yesterday, and OMGsrsly drank hers then too do it caught my eye. That’s probably why you bought it.
I haven’t ordered from Verdant in the last seven months but maybe? I think this came with two other oolongs- a tieguanyin and a phoenix mountain dancong. I should start writing dates on my teas.
I’m totally drinking it today because I saw you/OMGsrsly drink it the other day, however. I honestly forgot I had it.
I think the promo was 8 months ago? I realized I’d had it sitting there for ever so I wanted to try it. And Oolong Saturday seemed appropriate. :P
I started adding all my teas into a spreadsheet so I could track when I bought them and who gave me the samples. It’s been handy but I’m always updating data. Tea logs. Spreadsheets. Good reads updates. Fan fic pins. Pinboard pins. I spend so much time cataloging my life – I can’t forget to live it. :P
I love this one. Sadly, I think it’s gone for good…but who knows what might pop up to replace it, right?
