My bowl of Matcha disappeared fast!
I haven’t had any Oolong tea lately, and I’ve missed it. And this is an excellent Oolong!
Very nice, natural honey-like essence to it that presents itself in the aroma as well as the flavor. Happily, I can taste the floral notes of this tea – One of the things that had kept me from drinking too many of my favorite teas now while I’m sick is the fact that I was worried that in their impaired state my taste buds would not pick up on the more delicate features of those teas. Not so with this particular cup. A lovely floral flavor that melds so well with the natural sweetness. Slightly woodsy. Even a hint of buttery flavor.
YUM!
It is so comforting and delicious. Just what I needed this afternoon.

That’s the one thing I don’t like about koicha or usucha- not much liquid so it disappears fast:(
The second infusion of this tea is even better than the first. Sweeter, smoother, and the mouthfeel is even more pleasant – slightly thicker and richer in buttery flavor.
I managed four very flavorful infusions from this tea… I probably could have managed a fifth but I think that I’m ready to move on to something different.
So far, all of the oolongs I have sampled have been VERY SUBTLE. Is this the case w/this one as well? Or is the flavor bolder than typical?
OH! So YOU started the Honeybee trend! :P
@Lori: Oolong, typically, is not going to be as bold as a black tea, but, it is a bit less subtle than a green tea. This one isn’t “bold” but the honey flavor is not what I would call subtle either.
@TeaEqualsBliss – I guess so! LOL
