525 China Oolong Kwai Flower from Ann Arbor TeaHaus

525 China Oolong Kwai Flower

Oolong Tea by Ann Arbor TeaHaus

This moderately oxidized Fujian Oolong, warm and woody, is complemented quite nicely by the addition of Osmanthus Blossoms—tiny late summer flowers prized by the Chinese for their rich, nectar-like flavor reminiscent of peach.

Preparation: 3 g tea leaves (teaspoon measurement not recommended) per 8oz cup of filtered, boiling water. Allow to brew 3 min.

In contrast to the Birt&Tang version, this was delicious. I had it a few weeks ago. The flowers aren’t overpowering and because the oolong isn’t oxidised quite as much as some, the taste of the flowers seems to fit in better. Delicious, and the exception that proves the rule (that I usually don’t like flowery teas)
