San Lin Xi Oolong from Harney & Sons. . . .

by teaequalsbliss

San Lin Xi Oolong from Harney & Sons is an overly comforting tea that I have been enjoying as of late. I know I have said that about other teas in the past but with as much tea as we drink here at SororiTea Sisters it has to be something REALLY special to wedge it into that ‘overly comforting’ category.

It’s just one of those teas that you verbally let out an “ummmmm” or ‘yummm’ as soon as it hits your tongue and swishes around in your mouth. It instantly put a smile on my face.

Harney & Sons San Lin Xi Oolong is a Taiwanese high mountain (Gao shan) oolong. It’s from the middle of the Nantou District, between Li Shan to the north and Ali San in the South. It’s lightly oxidized yet sweet and buttery. It has a medium strength for an oolong and works well with multiple infusions.

Here’s the scoop!

Prince of Peace Oolong Tea. . . .

by skysamurai

Let me start by saying that I am very skeptical.

This is the first straight oolong I’ve had that is in a tea bag. Not only that but the leaves are all crushed. It’s a tea bag so I know that is to be expected but still sad to see.

For those who drink a lot of bagged tea I can see this as something above say Lipton or Bigelow but still nothing above any loose leaf companies. Surprisingly the taste is not as bad as I thought it would be. It is an earthy oolong. Nutty and oaky in smell. Roasted nuts and wet forest floor are the predominate flavors.

Overall not that bad but if steeped loose I bet it would reveal flavors that are even better.

Here’s the scoop!
