Courtney drank Taiwan Four Seasons Oolong Tea by What-Cha

1409 tasting notes

I find this tea quite refreshing both hot and once it’s cooled (ahem, mistakenly forgotten). The floral aspects are smooth and linger in an understated way. There is a subtle undercurrent of creaminess and a bit of sweetness. The entire cup is very balanced and delightful. I also find this tea holds up to oversteeping, never becoming astringent.

Both the second and third steeps had just as much flavour. A really lovely tea!

Harvest: Spring, April 2024

Hopefully as I explore more oolongs, I will be able evolve my palate and add more depth to these notes. :)

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
