Silky-Oolong
Next-to-last from their Probier Kollektion Nr. 1. An oolong with added almonds. Interesting idea, so let’s see how is it. Brewed western, around 80°C water.
Dry leaves have strong almond aroma, as well some floral notes, seems very nice. On the back-side of the sample bag, there is written it is an Green oolong from China and it was harvested in summer, but no vintage year.
Even brewed it has got nice almond note. The florals are though way more hidden. The aroma of the almonds overpower them. Afterall, there are some Aromen in the ingredients list as well.
Sadly, flavour isn’t good. It has got nice almond note, with somehow basic green oolong flavours, florals, vegetals, nothing impressive. And really wrong and weird soap aftertaste.
I have also tried the second steep, with a hope that almond note will be weaker. Sadly, it isn’t and the base oolong get strong vegetable notes. Almond level is still same and combined it is just bad.
