Joey Scola drank No. 190 Arbequina Oolong by Steven Smith Teamaker

4 tasting notes

A wonderful play on oolong. The subtle hints of olive oil and bergamot really pair beautifully with the tea leaves. The aroma projects warm notes of olive oil and bergamot, setting the stage for your palette. The high grown Taiwanese oolong comes through immediately, with a mild vegetal sweetness, followed again by the soft scents of olive oil and bergamot post-sip. This feels like a comfort tea and creates a comforting experience. The minimalist layers of aroma and flavor truly allow this tea to pull you into the experience of the cup.

Flavors: Bergamot, Olive Oil, Vegetal

Preparation

185 °F / 85 °C 5 min, 0 sec 3 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

I was introduced to tea as less of a traditionalist and more from a health conscious perspective, but I’ve become fascinated by tea culture and I’m excited to continue exploring these magic elixirs.

I’m a child of the 80’s, a nerd at heart, and an aspiring entrepreneur: retro games, sci-fi books, marketing, biohacking, health and fitness, MMA.

On a personal note:
My father was diagnosed with GBM brain cancer in 2014 and passed 14 months later. That period in my life was a catalyst for my life mission and has redirected my path from tech to tea. I’ve since founded Wise Ape Tea, a healthy-lifestyle tea company focused on altruism and personal evolution. We’re a brand steeped in altruism, partnering each of our tea blends with a unique non-profit to donate % of sales.

I very much look forward to connecting with the steepster community and continuing to evolve my tea knowledge.

Cheers,
Joe
