Tea reviews:
Usually I drink Taiwanese oolongs but farmers in Thailand and India and Nepal have been doing good work with some cultivars. “Ruby oolong” seems to be a variant of ‘jin xuan’, which is what I drink more of. This one from Darjeeling is velvety, fruitier than a jin xuan
I buy it at Rainbow Grocery in SF at bulk rates, a bit cheaper than the price straight from them:

The one from Rishi is from Thailand: https://rishi-tea.com/products/organic-ruby-oolong-tea
@skinnylatte Rainbow sells Young Mountain teas?!?! Wow. I'm definitely going to use that information. I get my favorite breakfast tea of all time from them, the Nepali Golden Black, grown by a co-op tea farm. And I just ran out. https://youngmountaintea.com/collections/black-tea/products/nepali-golden-black?variant=39715503046769
@scott I don’t know if they have all their stuff but I’ve seen it sporadically

@skinnylatte
Here for Oolong takes.
@douglascodes Just ordered some exciting ones from Wuyi Origin. There will be takes.
@skinnylatte
I prefer the nuttier ones. But they are all so pretty.
@skinnylatte I tried it on your recommendation and I like it.
I got the Ruby Oolong from Rishi.
