Thanks so much for sharing some of this, Kawaii433! I appreciate it. I always love a good milk oolong. flavored or not. This one is divine. Buttery, thick, creamy on a fantastic oolong base. The butter hits the mouth first, then the flavors of the oolong base really lingers. The first two steeps were the same, the third lost a little of that creaminess which was a shame. More of the oolong peeked through that delicious flavor. I really liked how I steeped this one (though it might not need that extra 1/3 teaspoon anyway… I didn’t want to leave too much for the next steep session). It didn’t get to be too much, but it also wasn’t too weak tasting. I would like to try cooler water on the next steep session though. This is a very good milk oolong.
Steep #1 // 1 1/3 teaspoons for a full mug // 10 minutes after boiling // 1 minute steep
Steep #2 // 6 minutes after boiling // 1 1/2 minute steep
Steep #3 // 3 minutes after boiling // 2 min

Do you know where we can get these in the U.S.? I’ve tried order THE O Dor, but the shipping is mostly european, or extravagantly high from Paris.
I’ve never seen these around in the US. I know from kawaii433’s tasting note that the shipping was a hassle.
You’re very welcome, tea-sipper!
Daylon: I have a ton to sell if any of you want. I did it so I could get zero vat and shipping charge. I have 4 × 125g bags left (each bag was $33.50). I would’ve written in the forums but I haven’t been able to write in the forums for months :(. If you want message me and I can sell any of you a small amount or a large amount. I’m in the USA.
I wanted to add, I will send out free samples to anyone too (free shipping if in the US). Just PM me, thanks.
My daughter bought a bunch of The O Dor in Mexico but ahe mostly orders from Europe. This is a HUGE favorite. We both love it.
ashmanra, I am drinking some of this today and somehow I missed this comment. Wow, I didn’t think you can get The O Dor in Mexico. I had to buy it from Europe and the VAT and shipping is out of this world. I bought it in bulk so I could get past that and they said to store it in the fridge to keep it from going bad.
