Iron Buddha Oolong Tea (Tie Guan Yin Wu Long)

This is a very fresh oolong, and considerably lighter than some. A lovely hint of freshness behind the traditional earthy oolong flavours. Quite a pale gold colour, but this may have more to do with reducing the quantity of tea to two rather than the recommended three teaspoons.

Pale green in the cup. Smells of grass, vanilla and gardenia. Taste is very mild – sweet spinach, marshmallow with a wine-like finish. Noticeable but not overwhelming bitterness.
