An Ode to Tea challenge #2– T
Time for this last lingering teaspoon to go! I really enjoyed this one fresh. I’m sad that oolongs lose their distinctness so quickly when they get this old. But this IS old. Not much to say as a unique oolong profile becomes Generic Oolong Flavored as it gets older. It tastes like oolong! But not how it once tasted. A tough lesson to learn, but I won’t be amassing a ton of tea like this anymore. But also, I only used one teaspoon this time and the past note says 2 1/2 teaspoons did NOT seem overleafed, so that could be the problem too. It’s hard to tell which of the oolongs are my favorite from Teavivre. They were all so good back when I was trying most of them around the same time.

It’s discouraging to hear that roasted oolongs can also lose flavour. I find they hold up better than unroasted oolongs, which do tend to go stale after a while. This is a good reminder to finish my package of this tea.
Well, I often can’t tell the difference between roasted and greener oolong, unless it’s obvious, so I didn’t really know there should be a preservation difference.

My last TGY from them just didn’t wow me even new, and now it is getting old…
ashmanra, which TGY was it?
