Shared a few cups of this with my mother this morning. She’s still confused about what exactly makes an oolong, because both the one’s we’ve tried this week just taste like green tea… and I’m afraid I’m not doing a terribly good job of explaining. =/
The leaves smell like vanilla yogurt to me. (My little sister, who doesn’t really drink tea, concurs. She made a face and everything.) The tea is pleasantly vanilla flavored, and not in a way that feels artificial, but I still get a little bit of that yogurty note. Weird. I also don’t get as much of the floral as I’d maybe like, but perhaps next time it’ll come out more.
