bluebelle drank Guiyuan Roasted Dong Ding by Steepster

564 tasting notes

I think I have one more of these packets so it’s not quite a sipdown, but at least I’m halfway there. This smells very roasty, more so than most oolongs I would reach for. There’s still a sweetness to the smell, though.

This is a nice medium-roasted oolong. I wouldn’t call it dark compared to some I’ve had. It’s very sweet brewed up, to the point that it almost tastes like Golden Moon’s Sugar Caramel Oolong. There’s a slight roasted oolong flavor and a strong brown sugar taste. I don’t know that I’d buy it, but it’s really nice.

Bio

Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.

I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!

I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
