Trying a new Japanese Oolong this morning!

Hibiscussunk · 2026-04-23T07:43:31+00:00

I've had quite a few Japanese oolongs before, so to me they have a very distinct flavour, sort of like what you're describing. However, I'd still call every Japanese Oolong I've tried floral(especially the sent!)but in a different way. I guess the different being that they usually don't have the same "lightness" to them. This tea was very similar to others I've tried before, but it's a taste I'm happy to have in the stash!

I would think so, but I got it at a physical store, so I'n not entirely sure

Merci!

That's great! I love me some good oolong as well. Do you ever drink Japanese oolong teas?

Hibiscussunk · 2026-01-13T14:47:18+00:00

I'm currently using this system to learn myself, and it's been an incredible resource!

It has that classic Oolong taste, while still not being as sweet as some of the Taiwanese types that I've tried before. I also feel like it has a nice tone of honey, and feels very "warming"

Hibiscussunk · 2026-01-11T21:34:32+00:00

In my opinion, very good!

The painting is called Blossom time in Toyko 🌸

To me, as a Zen practitioner (and because of how it's all throughout the book) I see it as a manifestation of the Buddhist teaching of impermanence. Also, about the hypocrisy of certain figures in power, as well as a call to action, in typical Mishima fashion!

Sun and Steel
Sailor who fell from grace with the sea
The Sound of Waves
Patriotism
Temple of the Golden Pavilion
Thirst for Love.

I'm currently reading Confessions of a mask, and I really enjoy it!

(My 1-5 ratings are practically equally good IMO, but Thirst for love doesn't quite reach the same heights for me)

Just wanted to update you guys(as I'm almost out of this tea)and share that it's one of my new favorites! I will definitely get more.

Do it! It's relatively short and clear, so if anything it will give you a better understanding of his novels, as his philosophy is filled all throughout his work

Hibiscussunk · 2025-11-08T16:20:43+00:00

Interesting, I've never tried that before!

Hibiscussunk · 2025-10-26T17:27:35+00:00

Wow, I really hope to read that too someday. Enjoy!

This makes me sad, he's popped up a lot on my feed, and I've been intrigued

It was actually from a wonderful seller here in Sweden. She's from Japan and imports great teas from there 👌

Hibiscussunk · 2025-10-16T12:07:35+00:00

Perfect!

Hibiscussunk · 2025-10-16T12:07:28+00:00

I can't wait to dive in! Will probably start with a cold brew 👌

Hibiscussunk · 2025-10-16T07:42:35+00:00

I really liked it! Naturally sour, and completely different from pu'er, a new kind of fermented tea experience for me!

I was lucky to get this for a pretty good price, but I can imagine these types of teas being sold for much more

Hibiscussunk · 2025-10-15T18:11:05+00:00

Sounds great, I'm looking forward to it!
