Sadly this is the last of this tea., at least for now. I have not yet written about this one. I really shouldn’t have been allowed to try this one as early on in my oolong exploration, but I am glad I circled back to it tonight. I started tasting oolongs with a milk oolong and then this was my second one. I have since fallen in love with roasty oolongs, and I am beginning to appreciate the more green oolongs and now I am drinking this again. This is so interesting. It has the toastyness that I like, but there is this sweet, fruity tangy taste as you drink this tea that seems a bit out of character for an oolong. I also get a very strong spice, although I can’t put my finger on the flavor. It wasn’t in the first infusion, but it came out strong in later infusions. coriander? cinnamon? I think I will have to have some more of this tea eventually. I have so many Butiki Teas to explore I am not sure this one will make the cut for the next order, but I hope we will meet again some day Gui Fei!
This is You :-D

Bio
I started drinking tea while on a 4 month long cycling trip through South America. It seemed to always be a great way to warm up when I was cold and it was always available everywhere. Mate was the big tea of choice down there and it was also a great way to get to know people. When I returned home, my sister introduced me to Teavana and this launched me into the realm of loose leaf tea.
