A little hesitant about trying this last night because my Dachi sampler from last year disjointed me. Since I’ve been drinking puer and yancha, green oolong have an upper hand on pleasing my taste buds because it is a missed flavor that I love; it’s just that I drink them outside of winter.
Upon brewing this I have a bit more to look forward to because the leaf isn’t as bad looking as last years samples. The taste came through quite clean, providing a way to relax while brewing the next cup. A little floral hint, with a mild texture to it.
I’ll look into trying some of Dachi’s 2016 teas to see if they find a special ones, but in the world of green oolong there is competition just like puer and I face the hard question on which to get… Beautiful Taiwan Tea is a must, What Cha is a must,Tealux’s exclusive is a must, J Tea is a must, Yunnan Sourcing is a must, how much tea is tooooo much???

I know, right? I’ve been so, so, so tempted to get a curated selection from J-Tea. But I’m on a budget and that would require full faith that the teas are truly amazing to me. I KNOW some of his teas are exactly that. But. Some. Are. So. Expensive. If I were to do that, those would be some of the only teas I had in a year. I’m still currently on a search for the perfect Dan Cong at the best price-one that is fruity, floral, smooth, creamy, and light with the types of wood notes I like. But I also want to try J-Tea eventually. So, I filled out the tea consultation and Josh recommended me the Yunnan Gold Tips, Drunken Dragon, and High Mountain Beauty. I had my eyes on the Drunken Dragon and the Green version of it, so yay! The Yunnan Gold Tips is probably yummy too. And the High Mountain is one of his favorites. At the same time, the selfish part of me wants some of the really green oolongs like the Spring Lily and the Cui Ran. Then the coupon is not working so I’m waiting for it to work before I buy anything. I also am trying to save up for the new oolongs you and Lauren are going to release.
Sorry about the long rant. Anyway. I feel your pain. But you also know that too well.
Get the Drunken oolong…
Also, I’ll PM you about their best product which is a subjective matter I don’t want to put out publicly because I must have 200 to 400 grams for the next group buy :)
