I had a nice oolong afternoon with this baby. All gone now, I had just a enough left to make a Gaiwan session.
This baby is a decadent one.
Floral notes of lilacs, creamy and buttery, with a minty fresh finish.
Love that thick texture, a total PUDDING MOUTH!!
It’s from the highest plantations in the world, maybe that’s why it tastes like the sky…
I’ve reviewed it a few times before, this resteeps for a while, and though it looses its floral notes, it remains creamy and buttery all “oolong”…
Just yum.

I don’t think I got that oolong. I got a couple of their others which I need to try. I hear rumors of a sale though.
Oh lovely! I haven’t tried Butiki’s DYL, but I have Yezi’s and this style is definitely yumz. :)
I got the Da Ye Aged and the Reserve Four Season – LTF made them sound good – I’m gonna break into them and the blue tea tomorrow :D
I love butiki’s oolongs!! Are you planning to try the aged ones this week end Honeybelle?
Sars, I haven’t had Yezi so I can’t compare…but this one is more than lovely!
LTF makes everything sound good! Luckily she always seems to be right! :p
Yes, blue tea!!! Drink it and report back!!! It’s such a party tea. It’s kinda hard not to smile when you drink it. I recommend white tea ware. :)
TTF… You should let me send you some. Seems like the perfect thing for a tea fairy.
Yes I’m gonna try the aged ones and a little TGY and the blue tea. OH and my taster is back and I’m enjoying the SB
Oh, missed the comment where you said “I’m gonna try them tomorrow” lol.
Loke Sars said, can’t wait to find out what you think of them!
TeaFairy, which of the oxidized oolongs would you recommend? I’ve been looking at them and trying to decide! Between the two aged ones, the four season, Doke rolling thunder, and the Gui Fei. I know I’m getting Oriental Beauty! But any suggestions would be awesome. :P

Oh, I got the OB too – I got the leafhopper thingie and got a cute bug magnet.
Dang. Now I want OB
OMG. I got the magnet too, but I swear I’m not tea gear stalking you. It was weeks ago. Isn’t it the cutest thing ever!?!?!
I was not crazy about doke rolling…but Gui Fei is bug bitten, just like OB and they are both fantastic and super honey like!
It is very cute!!! I like bug-bited teas!
I ordered a wee bamboo tea tray for my office today.
With the crazy shipping?
Did you see the cute little cups I got today Missy?
No, with Amamzon even though I’m wanting to quit doing anything with them. I got my assistant to try sheng the other day and it was messy- water and tea on my desk – so I just ordered it. The are a shitload of things I want on that site though
Pics or it never happened. :p
And OMG I totally forgot to show you two!!! I finally found the tea tray of my dreams after weeks of searching.

I did! they were adorable!!! I have that Buddha Hand holding a lotus one coming and the purple one and the crackly one from the other day. I LOVE that earth and stars one you’re getting! All of them are cute
OH that’s PRETTY Sars!!!!!
Wow, very nice sars, and it’s darker like you want!
And where was THIS when I was looking for a work thing????
I’m pretty excited. It was so hard to find a larger tray with the dark finish for a reasonable price. Every time I would find one in my price range, they were sold out. I’m really happy with this one.
That is just the cutest thing ever!!!
Cameron, I just tried a bunch of oolongs in the Education TTB 2; four seasons and oriental beauty were my favorites!
I love that set! Which tray did you end up with, MzP?
I’m excited to try them.
@LTF – RIGHT????
Thanks mj, I did read your notes! :) I’m so jealous, I want to do a Butiki educational box! I’m thinking I’ll definitely get Oriental Beauty and Gui Fei, I may choose another depending on how many things I end up getting… ;)
I,m pretty sure you’ll like them cameron!
Ok…wasn’t going to say anything but….i just got the last cherries of the season. 6 pounds. All to myself…and now, I feel like drinking you know what.
I’m glad you found a beautiful one that makes you happy!
Of course you do – I will drink some with you
Love the tiny tray, just perfect for the office :-)
And thanks for drinking with meeeee!
Kettle just beeped
That little tray is so cute!!!!
I really like that little set with the bamboo cut-out in the top and all the stuff to with it and easily packable though. What is this “Best offer available” thing and how do I do it?
I’m pm-ing you missy!
Because I can return the amazon thing
Make an offer! Woo! Haggling is kinda fun, IMO. :)
It’s not fun so far
Oh. Well poo. :(
MzPrizz that’s a pretty good price for that one. The store where I first saw that type wanted 4-6 dollars more. If you do buy from Shanghai story, I’ve heard that their jinjunmei is pretty good.:)
