Courtney drank Taiwan 'Shan Lin Xi' Red Oolong Tea by What-Cha

1418 tasting notes

2025 sipdown no. 19

This is very close to a high mountain black with waffle-y sweetness and an incredibly smooth body. There’s little to no maltiness, though it creeps in slightly as the tea cools. This is delightfully sweet, so much so that I would choose this over the Mi Xiang black (in a dire situation where not both could be ordered). The resteep of this had a decent amount of flavour as well.

Bio

I love black and oolong (unroasted/green and red preferable to roasted) teas, followed by green or red rooibos, herbals, whites, and subtly flavoured greens.

Likes:
Raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rhubarb, passionfruit, blackcurrant, redcurrant, fig, and most fruits in general, maple, creaminess, hay, biscuit, lavender, and cacao/dark chocolate.

I enjoy bergamot when paired with flavours that mellow it.

Dislikes:
Any smokiness at all, stevia, too much blackberry leaf, rose, jasmine, ginger (except in chai), cinnamon-heavy teas, anything cloying or fake/candy-like.

I’m vegan and have an allergy to potatoes, so I avoid any animal products in tea, along with sprinkles as these often have potato starch (I’ll happily pick them out of blends).
