Sipdown
I am sipping this tonight while working, but I failed the last sipdown due to missing lunch or break to give it a moment’s thought.
TGY is one of those teas which make me reminiscence since it was the first tea that set the tea journey rolling. However, there are some which are similar to that first tea (Monkey Picked from Teavana); which the fondness left after years of finding better oolong. I’ll note that Verdant had some promising TGY samples along the way, but this one isn’t one of the few that I loved. It’s too much like the Monkey Picked from long ago – seasonings, unknown (basil? bay leaves?), and not really meeting my palate’s quality control. I do understand the appealing aspects of this brew, but it’s not for me…

My interest in tea also began with Monkey Picked Oolong from Teavana. It must be a common gateway tea. Good green TGY is hard to find.
Truly is, this was alright, but I’ve learned to appreciate far more complicated oolongs. :/
Rishi’s tieguanyin was my gateway oolong with baozhong from lupicia
I’ve not had their TGY, but oolong seems to be a good gateway tea.
