I tried this one a few weeks ago and really liked it, so I was eager to brew it up again this morning and sip away. Today’s cups weren’t as lovely, but still were a good solid cuppa. This is a darker oolong, but not so dark as to make it undrinkable to my green-oolong loving soul. There are some really strong roasted notes in the first steep which require me to use sugar to balance them. Second steep though is an amazingly mellow delicious cup to sip on a dark and dreary afternoon like today.
Completely off topic, has anyone here heard of or tried the Canadian company Steeped Tea (http://www.steepedtea.com/)? I’ve been offered a consultant job with them and I’m looking for info from actual tea people before going any further.
Funny story… I saw that tea company on television last night! They were on Dragon’s Den. I missed most of it because they were the very first company but I’m pretty sure that they got an investment :) Neat!
They did get a deal – and it’s already closed and complete for them. It’s partly why I’m curious, I know they at least have solid investors.
They have contacted me about doing reviews of their tea on SororiTea Sisters.
LiberTEAS, what were your impressions of your dealings with them so far?
