Dinosara drank Milk Oolong by American Tea Room

2201 tasting notes

Om nom, om nom nom. This tea (#41) is so different from the Jin Xuan Milk Oolong that I had this morning, but both are delicious in their own ways. This one is super sweet and creamy, and also has fruity notes, unlike the florals from the Jin Xuan. Peaches and cream, for sure. I still really love this one. Every time I brew it I wonder if I could use more oolong-like steeping parameters, but this tea is so expensive I don’t really want to waste a cup mucking around with something that already works. Maybe someday I will be brave enough to try.

Preparation

175 °F / 79 °C 2 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

In my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: Mind-blowingly good, just right for my palate, and teas that just take me to a happy place.
89-86: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
85-80: Pretty tasty teas that I enjoy well enough, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
79-70: Teas that I would probably drink again, but only if there were no preferrable options.
69-50: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
Unrated: Usually I feel unqualified to rate these teas because they are types of teas that I tend to not like in general. Sometimes user error or tea brewed under poor conditions.
