Welcome back to teatime! It’s been a busy week so far. So I decided on a simple tea today.

Shui Xian Wuyi Oolong was one of Verdant’s limited oolong teas, before it sold out. This tea is best enjoyed on its own, steeped quickly in small amounts. So today, I steeped it in my Japanese-style owl teacup, which is a smaller size than most of my mugs, and removed the leaves after only ten seconds. (Seriously! That’s all it takes.)

This oolong is very light, with some typical floral notes. Except in this particular oolong, I noticed a sweet fruity taste as well. (Verdant’s site describes it as being reminiscent of banana, and I agree.) It’s refreshing, and great for sipping slowly during a break.

I didn’t pair this oolong with anything, since the flavor is so delicate. It’s perfect on its own, though!

Thanks for joining me again for teatime.
