drank Certified Organic "Winter Rhythm" Oolong Tea - Winter 2015 by Taiwan Sourcing
997 tasting notes

Vibrant, medium bodied oolong that can wake you up in the morning.. I would recommend using longer infusions, I find that it can sustain them without getting bitter. On the other hand, that way one gets fuller, more complex taste with some astringency as well.

It is a fairly aromatic and balanced tea, with some chocolate notes in the aftertaste. All in all the price/quality ratio is exceptional, definitely worth trying out at least.

Flavors: Astringent, Chocolate, Flowers, Pleasantly Sour

Preparation
195 °F / 90 °C 1 min, 0 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

It looks like we made very similar orders from Taiwan Sourcing—Egret 17, Sanxia Oriental Beauty, Winter Rhythm. (I ordered too early to be tempted by the pricy winter offerings.) You’re getting to the teas faster than I am!

Yeah, it’s my first foray into Taiwanese teas (and oolongs in general) and I am enjoying it quite a bit :)

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
