This is the first time I can remember that the flavors described on a tea have represented almost perfectly the flavors that I get when I sip it. I know that the gap between what’s suggested and what I sense comes, probably most of the time, from my uneducated palate…and let’s face it, I love, love, love spicy food, and am pretty unwilling to give it up to create a palate that’s fine-tuned, the way food tasters do.
I haven’t had even a moment’s trouble with this one. Everything they describe is there. The hardest thing for me to locate was the orange blossom, but it IS there…and that much to my delight; having lived in Florida (and even spent some time in working groves, long story), that smell is among my favorites of all time. I had some guacamole earlier, and I suspect that the garlic and onion in the guac sort of battered my taste buds, and that the floral note would be easier to pick out than the nutty note (rather than vice versa) had I not been snacking a little while ago.
The more oolong I have, the more I love it. So many flavors. So full-bodied. This one is pretty tasty.

Actually drinking this right now, sounds like it will be delicious.
Can’t wait to have it. I’ve been holding off on this because I don’t know what to expect.
I had a se chung oolong yesterday, but was little disappointed. About to write it up. This one sounds great
It is great! And it was even good when I finished off the cooled last legs of the cup, after getting caught up with some stuff for a bit and coming back to it. Your mileage may vary, of course, but I hope you like it, Cinoi and Ricky!
I really liked this one as well! There was such a yummy, peach and date flavor to it, with nice floral notes. The tasting notes here are really great, and if I knew orange blossom a bit more, I’m sure I’d be able to pick it out!
Hopefully the more oolong I have, the more a fan of it I’ll become. Don’t make the other oolong in the sampler with boiling water! I learned that the hard way.
Thanks for the heads-up about that. I had forgotten about your oolong incident…I’ll probably have it tonight, so I’ll be sure to turn the Zojirushi down.
