drank Tie Kwan Yin Oolong by Tea Ave
3028 tasting notes

I often joke about how subjective tasting is…what’s grapes and dark chocolate to me may be moldy bread and scrap lumber to you. So it made me smile when my impression of this nice Tea Ave oolong was exactly as advertised on the packet. Teeny hint of roasted bitterness to give it some backbone. Mellow. Fruity. Precisely. Sweet peaches and apricots.

Isn’t as thick and heavy on the tongue as the Dong Ding from Tea Ave I tried before, but that makes it no less fine.

Thanks, Tea Ave, for broadening my tasting horizons!

Made me smile. I don’t mind my experience not matching the company one, or usually any one else’s. Unless. Unless someone mentions a flavor I love and don’t catch in it. It drives me crazy trying to figure out what to change so I can taste it too. I do love me some moldy bread and scrap lumber. I have this one yet to try.

I love Dong Ding, and I love TKY. These notes sound drool worthy.
