DeliriumsFrogs drank Doke Rolling Thunder by Butiki Teas

149 tasting notes

I’m drinking my last teaspoon of this right now…
I only used 1 tsp for 8oz of water (since that’s all I had left), so I bumped up the temp to 180F and did the first steep for 4 min.
The cup was lighter than what I’m used to from this oolong (as expected, since I used less leaf than usual), with less bitterness and increased sweetness.
The second steep was still 180F, but for 7 minutes this time. The liquor was the exact colour of golden syrup in the jar (my jar was sitting right next to the cup…lol)… so beautiful! The taste was honey with the slightest bit of mineral at the end.
What a lovely cup for my first tea of the day. :)

Red, I think I’m going to have some TGY in a bit, after reading your posts… you’ve totally put it in my head. :D

Amariel, you did, I think. :D In fact, I think that’s how we became facebook friends. lol Stacy posted a pic of it on her facebook wall, and then we ‘friended’ each other after ‘meeting’ in the comments of the post. haha
Butiki Teas, you framed it and made it look all respectable. lol That was really, really sweet of you. :D
