Oolong Tea by Camellia Sinensis
We selected this tea, produced in small batches by Mrs Nian, from among a dozen other first flush teas. It is a fine and well-balanced example of high mountain wulong tea. A smooth, generous and complex brew that reveals long notes of delicate flowers (lily, hyacinth) and finishes on a soft touch of acacia honey.
A mild celery sweetness that fills the mouth, but doesn’t blaze SWEET in the back-of-the-mouth like some Gao Shan oolongs (although I’m not really sure of the elevation of this tea). Very green tasting, with an bit of an energizing kick at the end. Dry aftertaste. Honeysuckle aroma in the leaf. Reminds me a lot of green San Lin She or fresh Pinglin Baozhong.
Infused in my light roast Yixing pot.
