Only to grap a handful of those curled leafs and smell at them is getting close to the word ‘sensational’. The leafs look very appealing.Dark green, moist…can I use the word furtile? I mean there is deffinetley something in the air…something great will happen.
…as far the brew goes…great, earthy, slight smokey tea taste. But the smokeyness is slowly fading during thoses 6-8 brews that one gets out of it. The tea is heading in a more fruity, slight sweet direction. Extremely smooth texture. Beautiful color.
Clay pot/cup only supports those magnificent flavors and aromas that try to play with your mind…
Dong Ding Oolong
Oolong Tea by Fang Gourmet Tea
High quality Dong Ding tea leaf comes in a fresh dark green color and has ash spots like frog skin. Tea leaf strip is tight and curly. Dry tea has an intense fragrance; after brewing, the tea assumes a clear bright golden amber color. The aroma is delicate and charming, with a hint of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. Tea tastes mellow and smooth with a sweet and rich after taste. There’s red inlay around the leaf edge, and a pale-green hue in the middle of each leaf.
