A deep and abiding love of Oriental Beauty

Mountain Tea's Jade Oolong.

Look at those deep purples and greens! Even my mean dragon-head tea scoop seemed impressed!
This is a very visually pleasing Jade Oolong. From the moment you open the bag and see the tighly rolled colorful balls with purples and green to the last unfolding of the leaves, which for me took literally hours, this is a tea to linger over and enjoy experimenting with. A very open and friendly tea, it seemed to like all my steep times and a variety of brewing temperatures. This Jade Oolong seems alive and glad to be here! I would keep drinking this tea with my evening meal, if I weren't skipping dinner tonight. And with a tea like this, who needs the masticating muscles worked? I could skip a meal here and there, and teas like these make it all the easier.
I think I might try a number of Jade Oolongs from different companies and see how this one compares, it is a tea that invites that sort of playful competition.
Smooth and delicate with a slight floral finish, it lingers but oh-so gently on the tongue, a real easy-peasy tea to enjoy.
