Wow…got TeaAve sample box today. I mean…I feel almost guilty not having paid for any of this. It’s beyond any expectations. Fancy and classy.
Really TeaAve, thank you, you really made my day!
I love pretty much all types of oolongs, and this one is no exception.
First the look. OB is a stunning tea to look at. It’s like an autumn bouquet, beautiful auburn, green, grey and brown leaves.
I was happy to see the silver duvet tips in the blend, so pretty.
This tea is bug bitten, so hello honey sweetness!
It’s very fragrant, and the scent is even more powerful using the beautiful aroma teacup set provided by TeaAve.
The color of the brew is a beautiful honey golden color.
The taste of OB resembles more of a black tea in my humble opinion. It is after all highly oxidized.
I get red fruits, muscatel, citrus and honey. Very sweet and zero astringency.
As the steeps evolve, it gets a little spicy and boozy, i also get dried fruits, like apricot and dates. It’s rich and doesn’t loose any of its sweetness.
I did many steeps and couldn’t help looking at the wet leaves when I was done. I found the perfect example of leafhopper bites! See pics :-)
TeaAve and Heidi, thanks again for such a lovely gift…can’t wait to purchase your wonderful teas!
