Umm. So I decided to try this one this morning. I’m not fully awake and I’m having issues with my shoulder/headache thing, so this might not be completely coherent.
First, a story. My introduction to oolong was with a lily oolong. Upon first impressions I liked the green seaweedyness, but then after I had drunk some I started feeling really ill. So, uhh, that scent/taste is not something I’d normally drink. But because this was a sample from the lovely Sil, I thought I’d give it a go. (And of course I figured this all out after steeping it and smelling it and then looking up the name, etc. So most of the sample is gone already!)
The taste and feel of this tea start out very creamy and thick, but then the aftertaste is all weird seaweed.
Sadness.
I’ll be popping the rest of this into someone else’s box.

this was a sample from mandala – not something i’d generally be inclined to drink, though i do like their milk oolong. green oolongs. blech.
Normally the green oolongs I’ve had have been quite floral. This wasn’t really floral. It was cream and seaweed and spinach. :/
