This morning I was truly feeling the effects of being at the center of a nightmare drum circle of depression, insomnia, the calamitous state of my current work environment, and the exhausting reality that they are not nearly as inclusive as they think they are. A mental health intermission called for a new tea.
This oolong is an interesting mix of floral and vegetal. The perfumey collard liquor aroma gives way to a palate somewhere in between. Warm and faintly wilted-tasting without being too brothy or peppery, this is a mellow and soothing mix with a remote impression of something I want to call pine nuts but can’t swear to it.
I haven’t had a magnolia oolong in ages, and actually misread the Moongold Oolong you sent as Magnolia at first. I am not disappointed though, because the Moongold Oolong is really, really good and definitely one worth repurchasing one day.
