The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 3 April 2020 5 Comments

From Upton, Magnolia Blossom Oolong: "This Guangdong province specialty is a lovely Oolong tea, scented with magnolia flowers. Alternately known as Orchid Oolong or in Chinese Yu Lan, this selection is a must try for those who appreciate a fine scented tea. The flavor nuances are unique, but hints of jasmine lend a recognizable character." $17.25 for 125g.

    Wouldn’t mind trying this at all.
    I’m waiting on a tea order from Germany. It includes an Indian jasmin tea that I’m very eager to try.

      I am pretty sure I bought some version of this from them years ago, but since this would be very harvest-dependent that doesn’t matter much.

      Hope your jasmine tea is lovely!

          How funny, I would never have remembered that but my conclusion is pretty much as I remember it now — enjoyable not excellent.

    I love floral teas, my latest favorite is macha green tea with a few drops of rose essence (food-grade). I just discovered it makes a nice whipped drink with soy milk over ice.
