Maddy Barone drank Fujian 'Rou Gui' Cinnamon Wuyi Rock Oolong Tea by What-Cha

768 tasting notes

I didn’t know I like Oolongs this much! This tea is a wonderful afternoon break tea. It’s a bit sweet, and that naturally, as I drink my tea mostly straight, with a hint of cinnamon. (someone who can smell would probably get a lot of yummy flavors from this) This one has no bitterness, no sourness, no astringency. People must get sick of seeing me write that, but for me that is what makes or breaks a tea, and since I’ll be using my tea log to help me decide on what to re-order, that will be one of the things I note. I’m really glad that this is one of the samples I ordered from What-Cha.

Flavors: Cinnamon, Sweet

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 2 min, 30 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
