Where have you been all my life, oolong?

by Ladytiger » Feb 16th, '08, 19:47

As I have mentioned several times so far, Victoria's Own sent me some samples of her oolongs whihc I recieved yesterday. Out of the two that I have tried so far, ti kuan yin from Adagio is my favorite so far. I can't believe that I have been missing out on this! Now all I really need are some whites...

Girl, I'll send you some whites too! : o )

I love Adagio's TQY, I have tried a lot of brands and really Adagio's is right up there. Some Adagio batches do vary a little but still it's very nice. Nice tight rolled leaves and they expand fully. Very bold taste, definitely my favorite. I always carry those tea bag packets with me, so convenient.

If you do, send me some of that German tea, it look interesting.
I need to send you my favorites. :lol:

So I feel all giddy now because of oolongs...or maybe it's the caffine in the oolongs....

Well I got three steeps out of the ti kuan yin, very good. Tomorrow I'll be using the orange blossom oolong. It smells so good. I'm so excited!

I've been doing multiple steeps with the oolong and they way in changes through out is interesting.

I hate to say it LT, but I can't get that Orange Blossom to brew up right. That is some nasty strong stuff if I say so myself. I can't believe there is oolong under there.

I'm thinking of setting it out in a bowl as potpourri. The aroma is so fantastic, but dang!

Use a big mug and don't go over 3mins.
Call 911 if you stop breathing.
