drank Ripe Mango Oolong by Lupicia
1779 tasting notes

Weird! I don’t recall how I felt about this tea previously, but being an oolong (and oolongs not being my thing) I’m guessing I didn’t like it. I get a very flat cardboard taste from oolongs. OMGsrsly mentioned steeping Lupica oolongs in boiling water for a short amount of time, so I’m trying it. It is making all the difference! I’m getting a very floral like mango taste. It is very light and bright and lacks any of the flatness I have experienced in oolongs. There is a more natural mango taste that lingers after the sip. This isn’t the most delicious cup in the world, but I’ve almost finished it and I’m amazed at how big of a difference the right steeping parameters can make for a tea! Thanks for the tip OMGsrsly!

:) Not a problem! Anna kept telling me to use boiling water, so I did. I just have Mango Oolong though. Not sure what the differences are!

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
