I was completely THRILLED when I received a package in the mail from Global Tea Hut recently! It contained August and September’s issues and teas inside and today I am sharing September’s “Nostalgia” 2016 Traditional Oolong from Global Tea Hut in this post!
One of these days I will most likely be reviewing an issues or at least the publication side of the Global Tea Hut but for today I wanted to focus solely on this lovely tea. “Nostalgia” 2016 Traditional Oolong from Global Tea Hut has an aroma of a slightly roasted or toasted oolong. It hails from Li Shan, Taiwan, and is a 2016 traditional Oolong grown at 2000 meters. The tightly rolled leaves are a dark shade of brown.
The aroma – once infused – is airy, light, and a bit roasty and/or toasty, a bit nutty, and nature-like. “Nostalgia” 2016 Traditional Oolong from Global Tea Hut leaves an admiral glowing hue in the cup. The flavor is straight-up squeaky clean, nutty, gently vegetal, and ever-so-slightly-roasted.
As I sip on “Nostalgia” 2016 Traditional Oolong from Global Tea Hut it takes me to another place…a natural setting in its purist form…a place where I can meditate and listen to nature, myself, and the tea at hand. “Nostalgia” 2016 Traditional Oolong from Global Tea Hut leaves me at peace with my surroundings and myself. Oh…if I could always have this sense of well-being.
