One of these teas I tried was their incredible Oolong, or Uroncha, as it is sometimes known as in Japan. \u003cbr\u003eI have been wanting to fit it into the Qatari offering for the last year and finally got round to it. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a stunning example of a lightly oxidised, incredibly floral and refreshing Japanese Oolong. Rio experiments with unique tea cultivars rarely used in traditional oolongs. This one In particular is the award winning Minamisayaki which is known for its distinct gardenia, milky vanilla and elderflower aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnce brewed this tea has a wonderful chamomile characteristic to it, there’s dried flowers and a distinct milky element.\u003cbr\u003eOn the palate it’s a luscious vanilla bean, honeyed sweetness with that Taiwanese Milky Oolong style showing, but also a refreshing starchy edamame base to the tea. \u003cbr\u003eIt’s extremely well rounded and lends itself to a few infusions, bringing out that sweetness gradually as it goes. \u003cbr\u003eAn instant classic this one, definitely suits tea drinkers who like Taiwanese Oolongs with a refreshing floral, distinctively Japanese element.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qatsi","offers":[{"title":"50gm","offer_id":67724389646379,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100gm","offer_id":67724389679147,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/4787\/2299\/files\/IMG_9408.jpg?v=1791155901","url":"https:\/\/qatsi.com.au\/products\/sandie-uroncha-minami-sayaki","provider":"Qatsi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
