Favorite Time for Oolong

by Madam Potts » Nov 22nd 05 7:38 pm

I find that my favorite time for brewing oolong is when it rains.

I also like adding mint to my oolong for an extra lift!

A friend is going to Teavanna over the holiday weekend and wanted to bring me back a nice tea from there so I gave them a list of a few I might like. The ones not related to this post that I chose were a roobios chai and Mrs. Earl grey -which is earl grey with vanilla, orange peel, cloves and cinnamon added. (Only since Adagio doesn't offer these.)

I also picked an oolong as one of the list because I realized I have somehow shunned them from my collection previously. I don't like greens much but I have some, but I am not really sure if I like oolongs to be honest. So, I hope this peach oolong is as good as it looks to be. I don't think it's likely to rain any time soon, but if it does I'll drink some oolong -thanks Mad Pots.

MRS. Earl Grey -- That's great! I've never heard of it but I love the sound of it. How can I get some? I'll swap some tea with you or pay you for a sample of some if that's possible!

:D

Ms. Earl Grey sounds great!

And I'm glad to see that you liked Tad's Rooibos Chai! ;)

I got your posts before my friend left so I doubled my request for the Mrs. Earl grey. I'd be happy to share this in the next teaswap or before that if we just want to exchange addresses and do a 1-1 swap. Just let me know what y'all feel like. Timewise I can't really do anything between the first week of December to the first week in January as I'll be out of the country. Cheers!

yes! i totally agree- i'm sad there isn't a mint oolong:) i brew all mine for the day (8 6oz. cups) the nite before and drink mine with meals. i divide my daily tea consumption into 3 16oz glasses, one at each meal. this reduces the number of times i need to empty my bladder. i also often (more than 3 nites a week) drink 1 cup of dessert tea after dinner instead of eating a sweet treat.
