I have just crawled out of bed after getting my world absolutely rocked by a 1mg tablet of children’s melatonin. Adult dosages of 10-20mg maim me beyond utility for at least 24 hours after taking and leave me with an insatiable craving for a white, padded room, but apparently based on this dosage chart, I have the body chemistry of a 3-5 year-old, and the body chemistry of a 3-5 year-old has a very specific craving lately.

I used to love watermelon as a kid but over the years I’ve cooled off on it. Nowadays my preference for watermelon flavored things is surfacing (Wiley Wallaby’s watermelon licorice has got to be the hottest collab that watermelon has dropped to date). This watermelon oolong seemed like destiny, and that’s because it is.

The aroma is prominent: sweet and piquant with an almost savory first impression that reminds me of pickled peruvian pearls, but the taste is so brightly and sweetly watermelon and feels like it pole-vaults into your mouth, skipping 60% of your tongue and landing flawlessly at the back of the palate. Oolong is the supportive introverted friend tip-toeing in behind it and softly closing the door behind them.
