This is one of many samples I received from Angel at Teavivre.

I love pretty much anything oolong…green, aged, roasted, you name it, so it will come as no surprise that I liked this tea.

It produces a bright yellow liquor.

Yum. A nice floral green oolong, with notes of peachy goodness. The aftertaste is buttery and slightly peppery, like a good quality olive oil.

The leaves are fully opened at second steep and that’s when this tea is the most flavourful to me.

It’s a beautiful day today, summer is in the air…this tea tastes like nature’s awakening…

I am so grateful I got to sample this wonderful tea, thank you Angel!

Interesting – I’ve been scared to try “osmanthus” – thinking it would be floral – you are suggesting “peachy”. Maybe I need to open my mind a little. Happy you found another oolong to love. :))

Osmanthus always taste like peach to my. Gui Hua Osmanthus from Tealux is even more peachy than Teavivre, but doesn’t have that olive oil quality I found in Teavivre. Both will be in your next box, so you can decide for yourself :-)

LOL you know that exploring more green oolongs is not going to be good for my cupboard… thank you – you don’t have to send both, but one to try would be awesome. :))

If I send only one, you’ll have nothing to compare it to!

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
