Bought this tea on a visit to a Mariage Freres in Paris with the husband in mind, since oolongs aren’t my thing, but I had to try it anyways. I hope I get to go back and visit again someday. Wish I could download French into my brain before that!
The tea does remind me a bit of Theodor’s oolong. They both have creamy light caramel like flavors. Most oolongs fall flat for me towards the back of the sip, but this one has a light creamy grassy hint to it. Creamy and grassy are not flavors I’d have thought I’d enjoy together. As it cools it looses a bit of it’s magic. I think the taste of the unfiltered water starts peeking through. I really should get a good water filter. I think I kinda like this tea!
