Oolong Pomelo

[Maklub]

What have been people's experiences with Pomelo Oolong? Is the prep similar to making any Oolong tea? How would you know if the tea is any good?

Are you speaking of Adagio Grapefruit Oolong?

I got a sample of some pomelo scented Oolong from HouDe a while back. I'm not big on scented oolong but my wife loved it. She made me order more next time around.

I am not sure if Maklub is wondering about the same thing as I do. I have been wondering about a tea wrapped in dried pamelo fruit skin. The tea is bergamot oolong (or fo shou oolong), a oolong varietal, not scented tea. It was a tradition among Chinese in southeastern Asian that many family keeps some fo shou oolong wrapped in dried pamelo fruit skin. It was believed a best medicine for a long list of illnesses.

It seems in redemption these days. I remember seeing quite a few online retailers selling them, both in China and in US (I guess, most of them are not exactly the same as traditional style, but better looking). I've never had this and wonder if it tastes good.

I can't remember where I saw them for sale earlier. And here is a photo I found about it:

Interesting. I have seen only puerh wrapped in fruit.
