Lupicia had a special sale of oolong sachets, and I was meaning to try this for a long time. I also have quite a few notes to catch up on.
I wanted to try this one for a while, and I’m glad I finally did. Super fake, yes, and I enjoy it fully. The flavoring is a little bit too intense in terms of what I usually like, but since it’s so close to Japanese Honeydew flavored candy and even honeydew flavored Boba Tea, I really enjoyed it. The oolong compliments in the flavoring naturally, and adds a lot of texture and creamy profiles in my cup. I can taste some sugar crystals too from the added candy, and the tea has a little bit of mineral.
It also kept on yielding, and even 3 grams give you a lot. Western or Gong Fu work, but I prefer gong fu because it tones down the flavoring. As for western I might go as low as 2 grams. We’ll see.
I’m very happy with what I got and this tea easily exceeds most flavored oolongs I’ve had except Lupicias. I might criticise the strength of the flavor, though I take it was a candy equivalent and am more satisfied. This tea is also very easy to please newbies into tea.

I LOVE WEIRD TEAS! flavored oolongs are so taboo.
