Acacia Charcoal Roast Oolong

Finally, finally an affordable charcoal roasted oolong. This Jinxuan(Milk Oolong) Cultivar tea is hand picked and expertly roasted in place not famous for tea. That might change soon. Roasted upfront with a thick buttery mid-mouth, this tea finishes sweet with fruit and just a hint of fragrant smoke in the aftertaste. After finding this tea it has been a staple around here as an easy to brew 'grandpa style' friendly tea that can be drunk all day. Just throw some in a mug, keep adding hot water and drink all day!

Sweet, Creamy, and Robust

This is the first roasted oolong I've tried, and I really like it! Matt was kind enough to send a couple sessions' worth as a sample along with an order and I'm so glad he did. This tea has a very sweet upfront taste and a scent that reminds me almost of toasted marshmallows. The milk oolong cultivar is a popular favorite for good reason as well, and this tea has that characteristic very creamy full body. It isn't a subtle flavor by any means, and it really fills up the mouth and nose with the great smell. A welcome departure from my typical greener oolongs :)
