Fortnum & Mason

Smell is rich and muscatal with a hint of rose. Fortnum & Mason has this as a black tea on their website, and while the brew is a deep red-orange, it just doesn’t have the same bite or body of any black teas I’ve tried. Very smooth. I’m used to very light pouchongs which fall under the oolong category, so this was a nice change.

Mid day oolong craving. I need to go back to London and get some more of this.

Good as always. My middle of the day pick-me-up. Teavana Perfect Teamaker.

Soft floral notes, with a warm undertone. Nice mid fermented oolong. A pinch of sugar to bring out the floral more. Brewed in a Teavana Perfect Teamaker(for shame, I know better). I should have used my kyusu, or at least my yixing.

I hadn’t brewed this in a while, to I tired it in a cast iron pot. Just lovely. More floral this time around.

The second cup yields a much more complex flavor than the first. Slightly floral and vegetal. Brewed in a somayaki kyusu.

Very exotic, rich flavor. Delicious green tea, really beneficial to your health, as any green tea can be.
