Courtesy of Nichole, I sampled a cup of this while watching the live action Mulan (which doesn’t top the cartoon). It does not look like its namesake at all, and yes, I Googled for pictures to be sure. Instead, it was what gets called “fancy-pants oolong” at our house: very light gold and satiny. Her review mentioned peaches and rose; I’d go peaches and honeysuckle.
I will be 100% transparent. . . I bought this tea for the name (yes, I’m that mature). Brewed up a huge serving of this one to enjoy while working and wow, so good. This tea tastes delicate (if that makes sense). All of the flavors are light but 100% there. I’m picking up sweet honey and floral notes like rose. Also picking up hints of peach. As the tea cools, the floral notes intensify, which I’m happy about. This might be a tea to enjoy over the holidays with the fancy desserts I ordered.
Flavors: Honey, Peach, Rose
Ooh fancy desserts?! Do tell!
I’ve never had macarons before so we have a bunch of those coming, a Milky Way cheesecake (yes, the candy bar)and about four different kinds of gourmet cupcakes. I’m toooo excited! Typically our desserts are all homemade. I plan on having an afternoon tea party on Christmas since we all have to healthy quarantine from each other in our house and figured we needed to splurge a bit.
I am a sucker for quirky names, too; I believe this tops ’em all! I am not an aficionado of poultry droppings, although my mom used to tell a whopper of a chicken story (another time, maybe) … but is there a similarity in shape?
(Nope, just checked the website picture. That isn’t it!) Just…why? :)
I liked the live action Mulan movie, but yeah it’s very different from the animated one. I like both though! :P
The live action one was very pretty to watch. Beautiful costumes and cinematography.
