As I’m pulling out Christmas decorations, I’m sipping down some of my oolong samples from my tea friend.

This tea is also dark and a little toasty, which is a nice warming flavor for a winter night. There’s a light floral flavor that, when combined with the roast, kind of tastes like roasted flowers. It works.

What I didn’t care for in this tea was the fruit element. The site says it’s lychee. I wouldn’t know, having never tried lychee. To me it’s that wild kind of funk that is translated by my brain as chemical. It’s tolerable, but not my favorite flavor.

Going for a lychee black tea or a Dianhong with that profile is a better idea. Mi Lans usually have a grapefruit thing going on with the honey note.

Grapefruit! That’s what it was! I’ve been having trouble putting words to flavors these days, so thanks.
