Things to keep me afloat: Wuyi Origin’s Fan Shu Xiang (sweet potato scent) oolong.

As a Chaozhou person I have a deeply held preference for Chaozhou style oolongs and this (and other dancongs and ya shi) are my faves. Can I have many faves?

@tea

@skinnylatte That sounds wonderful. One of these days I may just become a tea guy. :blobfoxflooftea:

@crenfrow yes! if you get good tea, it's a world apart from grocery store tea! as a former whisky nerd who no longer drinks, it's just as interesting and deep

@crenfrow this vendor is especially good. they ship from china, so takes a while but is super worth it

@skinnylatte I've been trying out bits and pieces of new to me teas lately, and this one sounds pretty delicious!

It's fun, having grown up with various different tea cultures, experiencing even more different tea cultures and how they enjoy tea. And re-evaluating my own relationship with tea. I grew up with setting aside time for tea, but it got pretty utilitarian for me during the past decade. It's been good to put aside time specifically for it again.

@skinnylatte @tea yes! My favorites are sweet shou and aged shoumei and fruity or floral black teas and spicy chais. I cannot pick more narrowly ^_^

@skinnylatte thanks for the recommendation, I'm always on the lookout for new vendors and teas to try!

I don't think I could narrow it down to a single tea either if someone asked me what my favourite was.

@skinnylatte omg! a sweet potato scented oolong tea? sounds heavenly, now I have a side quest and the reward is giving the gift of delicious tea to ppl I care about

thakns for the idea

@skinnylatte does it literally have sweet potato in it adding scent? Or does it just smell a bit like it?

(I’ll tryanything (veg) at least once)

@lkanies it doesn't have sweet potato in it, it just smells like it!
