OOOLOOONG. i report a recent conversation with Astra.
astra :But which one of oolong? green? black, in the middle?
beppe : I have only one. Tie guang yin fermented at 10%.
astra : I guess it is close to green variety. Floral flavour? (like jasmine tea, not the flavour but the same idea?)
beppe : no no. Deep, warm, both in the color of the taste and in the taste itself. Subtle, never tires me. It was the most expensive in the shop, close to 40 euros for 50 g. From China. She had one from Formosa and we discussed them at long, chewing the tasty pellets. I chose this one because it was more challenging. I will start drinking it soon, or maybe Keemun.
Which I actually did this morning.
Excellent, mouth rich of flavor, a very clean after taste. A nice caffeine kick.
I might start drinking tea again.
Notice the beautiful color of the green leaves. They were dancing while absorbing the water, sinking and surfacing.
