To continue my nightly tea binge, I chose this little dude, brought to me by the charismatic mj1851. Thanks gurl! The dry leaf smells strongly of toffee and caramel, and I’m really looking forward to having this in my mouth right now. The water may have been a bit too hot when I steeped it, on a count of me being lazy and not wanting to check the temperature of the water, so I don’t know…I may have screwed it up. Let’s try it, yeah?
I just splashed a whole bunch of very hot water on my eyeball, in my eager attempt to take a sip. Who needs two eyeballs anyway? So now about the tea: slight butter taste. Noticeable, but I’ve definitely had more buttery. Pleasant. There’s also a slight vegetal je-ne-sais-quoi and the caramel is there, but it should be there more. Caramel, why are you hiding in the background? Come here! I just want to talk to you! Come!
Nope, he doesn’t want to come out. Maybe if I let it cool down a bit. Let me just put my freakin’ safety goggles on before I take another sip lol. Well, I can now detect a vanilla-like flavour. Not exactly vanilla, but something like it. Maybe…sugar? But the thing is this tea is not sweet at all. It tastes like sugar, but doesn’t taste sweet. Am I talking crazy again? Probably. Now where do you buy an eye patch? Preferably one with ruffles, fringe or print, because an eye patch is no excuse for a fashion faux-pas.
God. What am I saying.

I pretty much just died laughing at this tasting note
Maybe try with sugar? I usually add sugar
But it’s SUGAR caramel oolong. What’s the point of having to add sugar to SUGAR caramel oolong? Shouldn’t it already be sweet? Tsssss….You just don’t get it mj. Here I am trying to make this tasting note a piece of literary genius, pouring blood sweat and tears into tasting this tea to tell the world a story. A story of tea. There’s no room for sugar in this story. It’s a story of pain, and perseverance, to try to find the beauty in a natural product. And here you are, laughing away. Well LAUGH! In the end the world will know that you resort to ephemeral solutions to an ongoing problem while I put in the effort that will ultimately lead to the best tea story ever told.
Yeah I’ll add sugar next time.
You know what’s funny? The whole time I was typing that paragraph, everytime I wanted to type “add” I mistakenly typed “ass”. Will I ever stop finding that hillarious? xD
I do see the irony in adding…sugar….to sugar caramel oolong. But I am in a jovial mood (does this make me sound like a Victorian era gentleman) . So, starting from “A story of tea” I’m reading this comment in my head in that movie announcer voice that is used in trailers. And then I wonder. What is the point of having to ass sugar? LMAO
Hilarious. (Make sure the eye patch is pink. Pink is always good around the face. Or in your case, in the face.)
William Gladstone: I love that you know I’m joking as opposed to others in the internets that think I’m actually this overpassionate about petty things. I would agree that an ass can change everything. Movie announcer kicks in or lead to your demise.
Fairy: I was thinking maybe more lace with some ribbon? You know, keep it sexy.
Ok, sexy is important. How bout black lace and pink ribbon?
