boatingaccident (npub1jrx…htaq) got me a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! This sampler of oolongs, which are my favorite kind of tea, is really exciting.

My mom was a big fan of milk oolong, so I decided to make my first cup from the Alishan milk oolong in honor of her.

I was slightly wary because milk oolongs are actually one kind I have tended not to like. I’ve only ever had two, but thought both had a weird aftertaste.

This one has no weird aftertaste, but is a pure delight! I would say it’s “foresty” with lots of bright fresh herby notes and a little mild earthiness.

I pretty much always drink fine teas “grandpa style” (throwing all the leaves in the cup and leaving them there) which I’m sure gives the real tea fans palpitations, but I may try to save a little of each of these particular teas to do in a real gongfu way as their makers intended.

Thank you, my love! 🥰
