Oolong Tea
From One Day
Step into the quiet Japanese-style courtyard among the quiet forest alleys of Taipei, and enjoy the sweetness of brown tea and wagashi for a day. White light shines through the paper window in front of the green court, sitting quietly and holding the cup to let the temperature of the white porcelain soak into the palm of your hand. Hot water flows out of the traditional century-old wood, distilling the astringent aroma of dry tea. The aftertaste of the brown tea flowing in the mouth is clear, and the tea cakes on the wooden stand; The store manager brought a plate of desserts and honey cakes, rice flavors, sweet beans and honey flavors, pastries on ceramic plates. In the afternoon, oolong tea and a small portion of sweetness. Between the trees, scent of tea and beans waves in from the quiet Japanese courtyard in a tranquil Taipei alley. The sun beams through the papered window, under the aged wood flow of hot water brews dried tea leaf into stringency and earthy benevolence. The clear bitter brown twists an aftertaste in your mouth. The old man presents you plated Japanese confectionery on ceramic, honeyed cake, sweet grounded rice and sugared beans thickens the air and washes the bitterness. Portioned sweetness and oolong sophistication, the afternoon delight.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
A very realistic tea scent and “leafy”. At first it gave me an “old” person type of scent but after letting it sit for awhile it grew on me and put me in a sensual, warm tranquil-like state. Again a very subjective scent only but if tea is your type of thing but would recommend smelling it as a reference point for future tea fragrances.
