T&C TTB Tea # 23 Backlog May 30

Light-medium liquor with a light flavour. Mild apple taste, slightly earthy.

That’s all I got for you. Basically I considered this “straight black tea # 547389” and put it back in the box, because it didn’t really stand out at all.

Sorry for the spam of TTB reviews, I’m done for now!!

(Wow, it’s been a while?)

I finally got around to trying this one yesterday, and of course I forgot to log it properly, but it was nice. Kinda like a black tea, but oolongier. I should try more of these.

Tea #35 from Considering a new TTB
Dark oolongs aren’t normally among my favorites, but this tea caught me by surprise. Instead of being deep and roasted, it was rather lightly flavored and reminded me somewhat of apples and honey, with only a subtle roasted flavor noticeable in the background. It’s such an interesting tea, I’m glad I decided to be a bit of a glutton and make a whole pot of it. What I don’t finish off tonight, I’ll be able to drink iced tomorrow. This seems like it would make an excellent iced tea.

This tea will not be continuing on, I finished off the last of it.

This is a real “cover-all-the-bases” black/dark oolong, being slightly fruity, malty, sweet, floral, as well as roasted. A great choice for those who like a bit of everything, but not for those who look for prominent flavours.

First infusion – 3 g. per 6 oz water, 90 deg., 2:00 min.

Second infusion – 3 g. per 6 oz. water, 90 deg., 3:00 min.

Third infusion – 3 g. per 6 oz. water, 90 deg., 5:00 min.

Fourth infusion – 3 g. per 6 oz. water, 90 deg., 10:00+ min.

Preparation

A very dark oolong, naturally sweet and mellow with a fresh taste. I didn’t taste any apple in my brew. It is wonderful, I usually drink it when I am in the mood for a darker tea. Highly recommend.
