3 Tasting Notes
A great lightly oxidized oolong from a new region to me. The sweet flavor and large uncurling leaves make this great for sharing with friends who might be new to tea. The best part was I received this as a free sample, Tea trekker is great about that.
Preparation
Advertised as one of “Bob’s favorites” I can definitely see why. It’s a great everyday black tea that you really can’t get sick of.
Brewed at just about 200 degrees the tea gave off a great aroma and turned the water to a chocolate brown color. The flavor was exactly as described with a biscuity richness and it really was pleasure to drink.
I am often shocked how closely Mary Lou and Bob’s descriptions match the tea they are talking about, their evaluation of flavors is incredible and they often notice subtleties in flavor that a novice would have to really look for when tasting the tea.
So great to hear from someone else whom really appreciates Tea Trekker! I’m glad you chose to write a review for them too! I would also love to physically visit their B&M shop. Hopefully, someday …
