drank J.C. Absolu Oolong by THEODOR
3235 tasting notes

This is a sample bag from a The O Dor order a while back. Their samples are well packaged to keep fresh and almost all of them have given up several good steeps for me. This was no exception.

The oolong is very fresh and green, no rock/dark/mineral oolong here. The goji berry and peach were the dominant notes to me but they were not too strong. I thought they were light enough to let you taste the oolong without covering it completely yet still had plenty of presence. I honestly didn’t detect the pear separately.

The tea was such a pretty color, too, a clear, golden liquor that shone in my little teacup. Very relaxing in the evening.

Recommend for green oolong lovers?

Not sure if you are asking do I recommend this one for green Oolong lovers (yes, if you like flavored ones and peach) or for my recommendations for green oolongs. The first two that come to mind are Ali Shan from Teavivre and Wenshan Baozhong from Harney and Sons. Tea Avenue of Canada has some great, fresh tasting Oolong teas as well. I have mainly tried the scented ones. I LOVE using the aroma cup with Oolong. Hope this helps!

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
