Review;
It’s not often I come across
a tea I loathe. Even rarer that I would
waste the time to write about it. And it is entirely plausible that I simple
haven’t had a good milk oolong.
As previous reviews of Better
Beverage may have suggested they are a business. A business with selling a product for money
is a key component (unlike those that just do it for the passion, or the love
of tea or any other reason). So again the age old question of whom to blame;
merchant or tea. I’m doing a bit of
both. I’ve tried a milk oolong in Pekoe
Tea, and it was alright. I wouldn’t buy
any, and I wouldn’t write a thank you letter if I received it at Christmas, but
I would still drink it occasionally.
This one from Better Beverage is going straight in the bin. I tried to find out more information but the
owner of Better Beverage is rather cryptic saying that he doesn’t know anything
other than it passes European health law (to a degree (worrysome?)).
You know that fake artificial butter
that gets put on your popcorn when you go to the movies? Just imagine drinking a tea cup full of that
“delicious” “butter”. That is the best
description I can give. Milk oolongs are
suppose to give an array of flavours, this just tastes fake perfumed. And chances are it is. The price was ridiculously low, so I guess I
can’t be that surprised. The worst part
about drinking it is that the oil seems to just sit in your mouth, impossible
to wash/scrub off. Might go buy some
whisky to solve this problem…
Don’t enjoy!
