This was the only Indian oolong in the Educational TTB 2, so I was very interested to try it. However, it’s left me very confused. It smelled and taste like nothing. Seriously, it just tasted like I was drinking hot water. I could have severely underleafed it. I did the same thing I’ve been doing for the other oolongs: 1tsp for 8oz. Anyway, I hope the next person has better luck with it :)

Omg I think that’s even worst than saying something tastes awful lol. Flavour profile: none.
I know, right? I guess it’s a tea for the flavor-averse :-P
How weird! Oddly enough this makes me really want to try it.
I hope you get more out of it than I did. Maybe try more leaf?
It could just be really old.
Maybe more leaf, lower temp longer steep? Just a thought
I did add a bit more leaf to the basket and steeped longer, but to no avail. I didn’t want to use any more of it experimenting though
That’s how whites usually taste to me unless it’s Shang Tea
I actually really like whites though and they are not tasteless at all to me! But this one….it’s just not there lol
For this tea you should use 2 teaspoons at 170F for a 4 minute steep. I’m thinking it was just a bit under-leafed.
