drank Classic Big Red Robe by Silk Road
2291 tasting notes

I made this to bring to work this morning.

Ugh.

Objectively I do like the smell and the flavour of these roasted oolongs, but it was just too much. Which is interesting because a lapsang souchong is generally fine in the morning.

I think this one needs to be relegated to shorter steeps at home and not in a travel mug. I also think I should focus on the super green and floral oolongs, as I seem to like them a lot more.

I like BRR.

OMGsrsly

I’ve had others that were better. This is a very light, very roasted tea. If it had more body, or gave me less of an oolong-drunk, I might appreciate it more. :)

I prefer Oriental Beauty of BRR, to be honest.

OMGsrsly

(I did a second steep and tried adding cream. Nope. That was a bad idea.)

Boo to bad ideas. They often start out as good ideas in disguise.
