I’m excited to be trying this sample that I purchased from American Tea Room, which offers nicely priced small samplers so that one need not dive deeply into the unknown and the pocketbook.
The aroma of the dry leaf is hard to pin down—floral and sweet is about as far as I can say. The brewed tea is a nice yellow. The taste is naturally creamy and sweet (I added no milk or sweetenter, by the way). This has more vegetal overtones than other oolongs I have sampled, but they are nuanced. In a blind tasting I might say that this is a green tea.
Overall, I anticipate extra steepings. There’s something I cannot quite capture here, but it is something amiable.

I looked it up and, unbeknownst to me, it is in Beverly Hills. I got my teas by ordering on-line because I had heard good things about them. And they have really come through.
Is the American Tea Room in Los Angeles?

I’m dying to try this one! It’s been on my to-buy list for a while now. Glad you enjoyed it!
