New Tasting Notes
I’m now drinking oolongs/blacks/puerhs to see if I am allergic. I hope not because I love oolong tea! This oolong is a special treat and I treasured each and every drop. First steeping was delicate with a honey fragrance (true to its name), natural sweetness, and a touch woodsy. More steepings to come.
Prep: 1 Tbsp, 180F, 45 sec in yixing pot
Not a fan of really fruity/berry teas, but if you are, perhaps give this one a try. The tea itself is light and tastes mostly of blueberries with a hint of floral something (the white cranberry perhaps?) in the background. Very fragrant berry notes right from the start, it smells sweeter, stronger, and heavier than the tea actually tastes, which [imo] gets in the way. Not horrible, but not something I’ll reach for very often.
As the description asserts, this is a perfect pairing. I had been excitedly anticipating my sampling of ZenTara Tea’s flavored white teas, and this one certainly lived up to my expectations. A full bodied, yet crisp tea, really showcases their blending abilities. The result offers varying levels of complexity, with a bright “orange pez” note being the most memorable. Can’t recommend this enough.
