I think I am going to do an infusion test with this one today…
My first impressions of the LOOKS of this tea DRY was that if Oolongs were to have a Needle – this would be it! Many of us have seen Silver Needle Teas before – for example – and have appreciated how the leaves look all straight-arrowed and standing strong! I guess the only difference in the “looks” would be there isn’t that fuzziness to it. These leaves are very dry and very strong they are on the verge of being wiry but haven’t quite gotten there yet. Like I said – or should I say – rambled about – it’s just the first impression that I got looking at these leaves dry – don’t take me literally, I guess! LOL
Anyhow…
1st infusion…
VERY nice experience! The flavor is nice and even…it’s that of a sweet wood and apple. Not actual apple flavoring – but natural apple notes are what my tongue picked up! I can also taste natural citrusy notes as it cools at room temperature a bit. This is really nice!
