2024 sipdown no. 79

Thank you for sharing Cameron!

This tea is so perfume-y, it affected many others sent in this swap that I had to air out for some time. It’s so perfume-y, I made it at work and my colleague could smell it prior to entering our office.

Alas, it’s so scented that whatever taste may be there is drowned out, but when I really concentrate, I don’t pick up on any particular taste other than perhaps a perfume floral fruitiness? Perhaps this company should pivot into the perfume industry — at least with this tea XD. This is a share-down with a tea-inclined colleague!

I love fig, so when I saw Compagnie & Co offers an oxidized oolong with fig, I couldn’t resist. There are even fig pieces mixed in!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite live up to my expectations. It does have a syrupy dried fruit sort of note to it, but it doesn’t taste specifically of fig to me. It’s in the ballpark, but reminds me more of perhaps golden raisin or even dried apricot. There’s also a sort of floral note to the flavor that I don’t love. The oolong itself is nice enough, smooth and woody without being too roasty or strong. Perhaps next time I’ll try more tea with a shorter steep to see if I can get more of the flavoring to peek through…
