Very nice tea. I love the Oolongs

I was initially disappointed with this Oolong. I then realized, as I was alternating between pots of Taiwanese Oolong and this one that it is simply a bit lighter...a bit more delicate. Once I got my head around that, I came to like this tea very much.

From the first time I experienced the fragrant aroma of this tea, until I tasted its sweet nectar, I was smitten! Nepal Ambrosia Oolong is indeed the perfect way to start the day. It has become a real favorite with its gentle hints of dried fruit and smoothly drinkable flavor. Definitely not the run of the mill Oolong!

I have tried a plethora of tea over the year, and prior to purchasing this tea, I would tell anyone who was willing to listen that I disliked oolong the most. So, I was originally a bit skeptical of my decisions to buy a few ounces of oolong and feared that I had bought roughly 20$ worth of tea that would sit in my tea cupboard for months just collecting dust. While I have had oolong before, this Nepal Ambrosia Oolong was the first oolong tea I've ever bought. And... I literally cannot believe that I've been missing out on this type of tea for my entire life. First off, there was a bit of a learning curve for me in learning how to brew oolong. I originally was steeping too many leaves for far too long which resulted in an odd flavor that made me weary of the 4 ounces I bought on a whim. So, don't be me. I repeat, don't be that person who leaves oolong leaves in a cup of tea for ten minutes then is shocked when they are put off by a sour and oddly compost-like taste. I promise... if you brew this tea according to the shop's instructions, you will get to experience the surprisingly sweet undertones of this tea as well as a woman's choir singing a major triad in your head. Something that I found funny was that the first brew of the tea leaves would be light and nearly flavorless similar to how the first pancakes is always a bit wonky in shape. I'll usually brew the leaves for about 3-4 minutes on the first brew then 2-3 minutes on the following brews. This tea would always tasted better on the second brew as the golden brown leaves have uncurled a bit and have 'woken up'. The leaves generally last up to 4 or 5 cup. Honestly, this tea is such a great gateway into a magical tea journey of exploring oolong.

This is one of my favorite teas and is absolutely a favorite oolong of mine. It has fantastic sweet notes and is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it.
