Finally I am getting around to trying this today…
I brewed it Western style for around 3 minutes in an infuser mug with around 180 F water.
I’m eating this with a mango today and I don’t know if this is influencing my perceptions of the tea or not but it does seem a bit fruity to me. I am getting a lot of buttery richness and it is a very smooth brew. Slightly floral in the finish. I think perhaps I need to try it again when I am not eating it with a big bowl of fruit but my initial perceptions are pretty good.

Yes. Lay off the mango.
But I need my vitamin C!
Not when it disrupts the flavor of a fine tea….
Yum… Mango… In Ecuador mangoes are only grown in the rainy season, which is starting now! We should start being able to buy them next week or so. Mangoes are the first sign that Christmas is near!
@ Charles- the mango was a nice complement to the tea I thought. Will update my rating later if necessary
@ Ninavampi – Mangos are one of my favorite fruit!
Yes a healthy, beautiful thing . But they may overpower you oolong….
Mangos are delicious, it’s true, but I think you’ll have a really experience if you taste the tea again without. One thing I’ve found with Verdant’s TGY’s is that the best complement to the tea is more steepings of that tea.. it feels like with each steeping, the tea is prepping your tongue to make everything after so much better.
I will try again. :)
