When I opened the sample it was like spring bouquet with cinnamon and clove or maybe cardamom added. I tend to like green oolongs far more than the roasted ones. This is nicely green. The steeped leaf is even more fragrant. What is interesting to me is the first thing I notice when tasting is this is creamy. With the next sip I start thinking creamed corn. Then I notice the floral notes that usually get described as orchid. The aftertaste is leafy, vegetal, and makes me think geraniums. That is my go to descriptor for that green oolong aftertaste. The aftertaste does not drift into latex as with some overpowered teas. I was not disappointed in the taste. For me if it were more floral it would be too much. For me this is the perfect levels of floral and green.

What-cha is on my list because of ypur great reviews of them. Here and the blog. Keep it coming and thanks for the great notes.
I’ll admit visions of Jimmy Durante go through my head every time I type What-Cha, so I have to go back and make sure I put the T on there.
(Grin, tipping & wiggling my fedora) Wondering how many of our gentle readers have any generational connections to Jimmy Durante. My grandpa liked him.

Thanks, and you won’t regret it.
Every time I read What-Cha, I think of comedians in leisure suits and rim shots. :)
