The next tea is also from India, but it uses its own toponyms, so I hope it to be not that controversial.☺️

Darjeeling Tindharia . On the website of the tea shop where I buy it, there is a note that Darjeeling Tindharia is generally accepted as a red tea, but its technology of creation reminds of oolongs.

In the aroma is mild but playful citrus sourness with officinal background. I would recommend having this one in tea lover's collection.

Many toots appeared already, and finally, it's time to write about the that I tasted!

It's Georgian “Kesane”. The translation of the word is "Myosotis".

The aroma of the tea is a little sourish. If usually oolonges are about flowers or fruits, it's not the case here. “Kesane” is about vegetables and especially tomatoes.

The tea is very intriguing and I highly recommend it.

For some while I didn’t have the inspiring “wow!” caused by a tea, but today I have one. Today I tried the Qi Dan “Odd Cinnabar” . The following is said about the tea:

> The Qi Dan cultivar was bred from a mother bush, consisting of a blend of the original Da Hong Pao from Jiulongke (Nine-Dragon Cave)—the very one from which the history of the famous “Big Red Robe” began.

Preparing for the new journey through India and Georgia. Visiting the Dan Tsun as well as light families.🙂

The most unusual thing to taste — Shen Puehr.

What is interesting about teas is their dynamic nature. Well, there are two dynamic natures: tea's taste and my perception.

These days, I percept the majority of teas as too sweet. Dan Cong Mi Lan Xiang which I previously thought of rather roasted and brutal one, feels very delicious today.

Dongfang Meiren Cha, or Eastern Beauty Oolong Tea, is a Taiwanese bug bitten tea. A leafhopper called the "tea jassid" is prevalent in the areas where this tea is grown and actually encouraged on the tea plants used to produce the tea. The character of the tea itself is more similar to oxidized styles of Fujian White tea than to other Oolong tea. Dried stonefruit scent, light sweet flavor, and little to no bitterness or astringency even when pushed or overdosed. This is a summer 2020 Dongfang Meiren from Mud and Leaves.

The Shan Ling Xi .

After drinking this one, I decided that drinking oolongs so often is not the path that I want to go. This kind of tea is highly nuanced, so I feel like I need some time to rest and miss it before taking the next one.

The Da Yu Lin . Either yesterday my tongue was too sensitive, or this oolong has some kind of “explosive” taste, slightly pricking the tongue at the time of drinking and then.😃 The aroma is strong and energetic, full of flowers. It was an interesting experience!

What always astonishes me is the size of -leaf after brewing compared to its initial size.😃

After some time, the path continues. This time it might be not that long as I’ve purchased 10 samples, not 30. The teas are from Taiwan and Japan.

The first one tasted is the Taiwanese , Tang Bei Dong Ding. It has the strong roasted aroma with the oolongish aftertaste. I didn’t add it to my collection, as these days I have absolutely no wish to drink roasted (Da Hong Pao-like) teas.🙃

In Sanming, Fujian I had an Eastern Beauty oolong (东方美人茶) made from the mei zhan cultivar, usually used for black teas in Fujian. It was amazing. You could taste the floral notes typical of mei zhan combined with the honey sweetness from the leafhoppers and processing. I don't remember the name of the farm, but I would love for some tea company to find that and sell it to me.

The Li Shan tea. Almost indestructible in terms of the number of brews. It has a creamy and floral aroma. The creamy aroma is more straightforward than the one Alishan Jin Xuan has, but it’s still very delicate. I recommend this one.

Usually I drink a more oxidized amber oolong from Taiwan. On my last order I bought a 15 gram sample of this traditional Taiwan oolong.
OH MY! It’s a bit of a (ahem) steep steep for me, at over $30 for 125 grams but it’s incredibly wonderfully tasty (slightly fruity and grassy, without the too-grassy taste I dislike in green teas). I may have to splurge…
