August Sipdown Prompt – a green oolong
Is it cheating to drink a flavored green? No. I have decided it isn’t.
This is such a lovely tea. It was a Mother’s Day gift from Superanna and I liked it so welk that I bought another pouch immediately. This is that last pouch. It is a definite repurchase for someday when I need to restock teas. Ashman and I both enjoy it.
Be prepared because these leaves SWELL. There is hardly room in the pot for the water on the second steep, so make sure you steep it such that the leaves have plenty of room to expand.
It has lovely light plum flavor and resteeps well so we always make two steeps and combine them. We usually have it hot but we have had it iced and sweet a couple of times this summer and it makes a delicious fruity refresher to go with lunch and just slake a summer thirst.
Their fruity oolongs are all so delightful!
