Hopefully it won’t taste that way to you! LOL

Oh no! I just ordered a sample of an oolong called blue unicorn! Hope it doesn’t taste like soap!
I’ve tried blue unicorn before and it was good – for an oolong
“for an oolong”… Lol! Thanks, Sil!
haha well oolongs aren’t my favourite but i think you’ll be safe with your order. ;)
I got the blue unicorn I tried in a tea trade
