China Oolong Restaurant Style
Name: China Oolong Restaurant Style
Kathy's Rating: 5.0/10.0
Company: Tealuxe
Origin of tea: China
Price: $5/50g (1.76oz)
Tea form: Loose oolong tea
What they say: This organic oolong will remind you of the dark and smooth teas you're served at Chinese restaurants.
Preparation method: Pour boiling water over tea. Steep for 4 minutes.
Review: True to its claim, this tea really does taste like Chinese restaurant tea. Unfortunately, that's not a good thing. This tea was highly fermented - it almost tasted like a black tea. Overall, it lacked the bold characteristic flavor of oolong teas. I thought it was more of a tea to wash dim sum down with rather than to enjoy drinking alone.
