Liquid Proust, it's Liquid Proust that's on my mind, Mastodon.
I was gifted this rather amazing tea, apparently sourced by liquidproust.com, an Anaerobic Roasted Ruby Oolong, this one made to really bring out the GABA in the tea. In short, it's delightful. I'm only 5 steeps in and I'm happily medicating my way through day job stress.
Also how about that business name, though. Nice.

In this world, besides water, my favorite drink is Taiwanese tea! Its enchanting aroma, tranquil essence, rich layers, and lingering aftertaste.
這世界上...我最愛的飲品除了水，就是台灣茶！迷人清香，寧靜悠遠，層次豐富，茶韻回甘。
What's your favorite drink?

Boxing Day = sleep in, have brunch. I opened a new Taiwanese milky oolong 😋 JUSTMAKE King Hsuan is really good with eggs benedict!
🍳 More notes: https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/4139323
[Images: 1) Photo of a hand holding a cylindricall red tea canister with a label reading JUST MAKE King Hsuan Oolong Tea, next to a very small bamboo tea tray with a mug-shaped tea cup, clay dog tea pet and a white kyusu/Japanese side-handled teapot. A small circular pamphlet lies open to a spread with an overview of Tsui Yu Oolong and King Hsuan Oolong in Chinese and English. 2) Hand holding the pamphlet closeup over the tea tray. It reads: "King Hsuan Oolong Tea - King Hsuan, also named Taiwan Tea No. 12, is one of the revolutionary new varieties of tea plants formulated in 1981. Semi-fermented with uniquely fragrant flavor. It yields a hint of milk aroma with a cool, silky texture."]A few days ago I finished the Taiwanese white tea, which means yay! I can open another tea bag! (Note: at any one time between my mom and me we have maybe at least 8 different teas in rotation... I might have missed a few in my mental count.)This is one of my favourites - Taiwanese milky oolong! It has a few different names: Formosa Tea #12 or Taiwan Tea No. Twelve or some variation of this Jin Xuan or King Hsuan oolong. Both are renderings of 金萱 jīn xuān or "gold daylily". The fun world of phonetics! 奶香 nǎi xiāng oolong. Literally "milky fragrance/aroma". Authentic jinxuan oolong has no milk in it - it's just the magic of tea cultivation and prep - so for those with dairy allergies and intolerances yearning for milky desserts and milk tea this can be a lovely treat.This is JUST MAKE Taiwan Tea's King Hsuan Oolong that I picked up from Maeli Market a while back and have been waiting all this time to enjoy it. As soon as you open the container, the little tea leaf pearls have that lovely milky scent. I steeped it at about 75 degrees Celsius mainly because the water was already boiled and I didn't want to reboil (I otherwise would normally have done around 90 degrees for this). I always think of Jinxuan like caramel pudding turned into a lovely light liquid/tea form. This one has a very noticeable floral scent to it as well. Not that it's super in your face, but that it's definitely palpable compared to my memories of the last time I had jinxuan (not this specific brand)! I had it with brunch - a soft poached eggs benedict with home fries. No photo, but just imagine a messy chaos of tender jiggly egg white and egg yolk oozing over bacon and a toasty-edged chewy English muffin pad with little pools of hollandaise sauce in its air pockets, with potatoes soaked in all that luxurious richness and drizzled with tangy ketchup. Slurp slurp nom nom. Soooo good.
