Dry leaf smelled fresh and vegetal, not buttery though it tastes so.
1st infusion: (15s)
Hot leaves suddenly exploded with a buttery scent, in addition to vegetal, floral, and savoury vegetable broth notes. Tastes like a fresh clear spring with its own natural sweetness and slight buttercream flavour. Perhaps not as buttery as the Jin Xuan oolong, but still fantastic in its own right.
2nd infusion: (25s)
Silky buttery scent and texture. Excellent.
3rd infusion: (35s)
I was struck by the almost highlighter-yellow colour of this infusion. The buttery scent remains, but flavour is less prominent. Drinking so many of these in quick succession, the astringency is building up on my tongue but I can’t tell which infusion contributed more.
4th infusion:
Amazingly, this still smells buttery. A mellow infusion with less astringency.
5th infusion:
Colour has paled a lot. Very slight vegetal scent.
Flavors: Butter, Vegetable Broth
