SoccorMom was kind enough to send me some of this, one of her favorites.
I think this is the first oolong I’ve blogged, at least my labels didn’t have oolong in there yet.
Wow! the leave started out squished little things and they unfurled and became HUGE.
Although I am really enjoying the silken texture, I don’t see myself craving this daily. I can see buying this from time to time for a nice smooth sweet tea with no bitterness.
So not a favorite, but a very enjoyable mug of morning tea (boo morning!) so SoccorMom won’t have to fight me for the supply ;)

Resteep: just like the first, except a I caught the cream!
glad i got to try this, it reminds me of coconut pouchong but less vegetal
I prefer 2nd steep too!
what’s the most steeps your wrangled from the leaves, because i mean the second looked JUST like the first, impressive really
Well I usually go three after the third the leaves started to turn brownish. The first time I had it I thought hmmm this is okay and the more I drank the more I liked it. Save you last steep for after dinner (that’s when I enjoy it most).
