drank Red Water Oolong by T Shop
1925 tasting notes

This tea I have received ages ago from derk, tried once in grandpa style (2 grams); now I decided to gongfu (remaining 4 grams) + 125 ml gaiwan. Thank you! As well SIPDOWN 56.

I preheated the gaiwan prior adding the tea; and then tea produced wonderful aroma of baked sweet potatoes, roasty. The rinse woke up more the roast note; honeyish note, maltiness and floral notes. Sweet somehow. Lovely.

1st steep, 7-8 seconds
Bready, roasty, tea. Bit lighter than I thought. But tasty nonetheless.
2nd steep, 15 seconds
Dried fruits; roasted and still bready. Long mouthfeel. When colder I noriced red berries, especially currants.
3rd steep, 20 seconds
Very similar to second, just more intense. Yum.
4th steep 30 seconds
Nice roasty and round taste, but fruits are gone.
5th steep, 45 seconds
6th steep, 1 minute
Both last steeps were round and roasty, but gone with anything more unique and interesting. But still a very nice and wonderful experience.

Flavors: Bread, Floral, Honey, Malt, Red Fruits, Roasted, Sweet, Sweet Potatoes

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
