Enjoying this Ali Shan again, and writing a review on it as well (to be published in a couple of days on the SororiTea Sisters blog… please watch for it!) The flavor is remarkable: at once it is sweet and floral, soft and silky smooth, with hints of buttered popcorn and lightly toasted nuts. There is also a pleasing undertone of spice that I don’t remember ever tasting in an Ali Shan before. It has a remarkable amount of flavor for such a “light” tea.
Love!
I am obsessed with tea!

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:
I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.
I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!

I seem to remember you liking Ali Shan in another review; perhaps it was different. Anyhow I gather you liked.
Ali Shan is my favorite type of Oolong. :)
Good. I am fond of vintage or classic Wulong (Oolong).
