Hey, everybody, so today I’m gonna talk about something I tried recently – Yamamotoyama Oolong tea. Yeah, you heard that right, oolong tea. I’ve been on a bit of a tea kick lately, trying to cut back on the coffee, you know? So, I was strolling through the store, and these Yamamotoyama tea bags caught my eye. I thought, “Why not?” and tossed them into my cart.

First off, the packaging. It’s this simple, no-nonsense bag. They’re loose leaf bags, which they say are made of Mylar. I had to look it up – apparently, it’s good at keeping light out. And that’s important for tea. You gotta keep it away from light to keep it fresh, like storing it in a closed cabinet, which is what I did.

Now, getting to the tea itself, I boiled some water and popped a bag in my favorite mug. The instructions were pretty straightforward. I let it steep for a few minutes, just taking in that aroma. It smelled pretty good, not too overpowering.

Then came the taste test. I took a sip, and I gotta say, it was nice. It had this smooth, kind of rich taste to it. A little bit earthy, maybe? I’m no tea expert, but I liked it. It’s definitely different from my usual black tea or green tea. There’s a certain depth to it, hard to explain, really.

I did a little digging online, and apparently, there are different types of oolong tea. This one I got seems to be like a High Mountain Oolong, which I guess is a big deal in Taiwan. They use something called the Qing Xin Oolong cultivar, whatever that means. I just know it tasted good. Oh, there are names like Alishan, Shanlinxi, Li Shan, and Dayuling for the high mountain oolong teas. I have no idea what these names mean but they sound cool.

So, I’ve been having this oolong tea almost every day now. I read somewhere that it’s okay to drink it daily. I mean, it’s just tea leaves, right? From some plant called Camellia Sinensis, according to the internet. It’s not like it’s loaded with caffeine or anything.

Anyway, I think I’m gonna keep this oolong tea thing going. It’s a nice change of pace, and it feels good to try something new. Plus, it’s kinda fun learning about all these different tea types and how they’re made. Who knew there was so much to tea?

To sum it up, here’s what I did:

Steps to make Yamamotoyama Oolong tea

• Got the tea bags.
• Boiled some water.
• Put a tea bag in a mug.
• Poured the hot water over it.
• Waited a few minutes.
• Drank and enjoyed it!

That’s it. Nothing complicated. If you’re looking for a new tea to try, give Yamamotoyama Oolong a shot. It’s pretty darn good.
