On chalva that we have in a cupboard downstairs or stollen from Lidl.

Though, Oolong should suffice for now.

As I have mentioned before I was curious about tea from the age of 16, only I never was persistent or lucky or whatever to convert. A couple of days ago I have found a box of Oolong tea that I bought 6 years ago when we had a day trip to London. There is a street with many second hand bookshops that I wanted to visit, then we went to London's version of Chinatown. I liked what they call Chinese tea that they serve in our China buffet restaurant. I asked a waiter to write the name for me. He jogged down its name in English and Chinese. Back then I thought that Chinese tea means green tea...now I know the tea we had was blue tea, oolong that is.
I bought a bag of this tea in a small Chinese shop and since then it was sitting in a cupboard in the kitchen. Dunno whether I am persistent or not but the tea definitely is. It survived house move Best Before 08 Apr 2008
I wanted to throw it to the rubbish bin then realised that it is in a sealed foil bag and like a new (or aged like Pu-Erh)
So, I just opened it and made a cuppa.
I like the taste!
Pity, I have no blooming idea what particular type of oolong it is.
It says: China Fujian Oolong Tea
Sea Dyke Brand.
