I have always been a avid tea drinker from a very young age, as far back as I can remember I have had at least 1 tea a day. Not sure why my parents thought it was fine for me to drink tea at such a young age, but I don’t think it hurt me any in the end.

Tea in my home growing up was always Red Rose tea, and Tea at my Nanna’s was always Tetley. Out of the two I much prefer Red Rose tea. Being a fan of tea and drinking a lot of it, I have always wanted to try different kinds of tea. Loose leaf tea offers the best way to do this and for xmas I asked someone made this possible with a Teaopia Tea Master Starter set. Day one having the Teamaster I used it at least 5 times and tried all the different teas that it had come with.. Since then I have calmed down and during the week use it once a day and on weekends use it on avg twice a day. while trying the many teas I thought it would be interesting to track the teas I have tried and which once I liked. I am by no means a Tea Conosur, so this will be for my own record of which teas I should keep in stock and which ones to never get again.

I will start with the one I am drinking right now…

Creamy Nut Oolong

Creamy Nut Oolong as teaopia describes it:

This high grade Chinese Oolong contains apple pieces, caramel bits, almond pieces, safflower, sunflower, mallow flower and natural aromas. This delicious Oolong is a nut lover’s delight. The natural inherent nuttiness of the Chinese Oolong combined with the addition of almonds and caramel make this tea a must try. Great for multiple infusions, infuse the first cup for under one minute, and the second and third infusions at 1.5 minutes.

This is the first Oolong tea I have every had, but I have been having it the past two nights after dinner. It is not a very strong tea, but I do like a very small amount of milk it it. You can smell and taste the Almonds in it over everything. I would not want to drink this first thing in the morning, but as a afternoon or evening tea it’s very good.

Recommended brewing time from Teaopia for Oolong Teas is 4 min (They say a min in the above from the site), but I like to let this one sit for 5 to get a little more of the flavour from it.
