Shelly’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "Green, earthy, and natural, with a bit of a bite to the finish... I loved it."

This tea was really, really delightful. And yet another completely different tasting oolong. There seems to be a world of varying flavor in regards to this type of tea.The aroma was similar to moist soil while working in a garden. Or perhaps a greenhouse or nursery fragrance would be a more flattering description. It is an earthy and fresh experience when the bag is opened.
The oolong leaves are rolled up in round balls and unfurl when steeped. The brew is a very pale amber color with a tinge of green. Again, it has a very natural and earthy aroma.
I enjoyed it very much. Some teas smell a certain way, even strongly, and the taste falls flat in comparison. Not the case with this tea. The taste is just as green, earthy, and natural as the aroma indicates. It is a thirst-quenching and smooth tea that has just a slight natural bite to it in the aftertaste. What comes through is a high quality and very leafy tasting tea. I loved it!
I will also never forget it because while it was on the table at work brewing in my ingenuitea mug, my boss asked who had a glass of seaweed sitting on the table. I have to chuckle at that ...œ it did look like seaweed floating atop a mug of water. After he said that, I had a hard time not thinking it smelled like seaweed, either. But here's another bonus for this tea: I had to leave it on the table for quite awhile at work before I could drink it (and get the seaweed comparison out of my head) and it remained delicious and smooth even after an hour in the water.
Chalk up another delicious oolong on my growing list!
