Happy (late T_T) New Year, everyone! :D

We had a pretty relaxed New Year’s Day (and NYE, tbf) at home, and as part of it, I brought down my lovely little glass teapot (~200 ml, max) and brewed up some of this wonderful Oolong for my brother and me! He’s really keen to try lots of teas, particularly ‘finer’ teas, and I thought this might be a good one to let him try next.

And, once again, he really enjoyed it (as, of course, did I!). It’s such a marvellous Oolong – it really does have that delicious, apple-y flavour and smell. I got a good five or six infusions out of a fairly generous 2-and-a-bit tsp (and, tbh, I could probably get another tasty one or two out of it).

Plus, we got to drink it out of my lovely new cups from Verdant – they really are rather beautiful.

EDIT: I did indeed get another four good steeps out of it – though the last was a much milder cup, it still carried that lovely red-apple note and a general round, fruity flavour. Lovely!

Bio

Junior doctor and casual tea-drinker.

It’s been a busy few years for me – I’ve graduated from med school and I’m now working full time as a junior doctor in a small UK hospital. I’ve returned Steepster to continue to learn, take recommendations and share my experiences :-)

I remain particularly keen to try lots of new teas, especially Pu Erhs and Oolongs!

I’m also happy to swap, particularly within the UK! If you see anything in my cupboard that you wanna try, please don’t be afraid to ask! Most of them I have at least 25 g of, so a 5 g sample or so will be no trouble :-)
