Kaiwiki Oolong Tea

This oolong teas’ leaves are slender and more of a brown and white mixture than some of the greener or blacker oolongs I’ve been drinking or late. The aroma is light and sweet.

The leaves brew a wonderful golden liquor piquant with notes of peach and nactarine and hints of honey.

On the tongue the brew is smooth with minor peeks of astringency which never truly surface in any notable way. Light vegetal notes during the early tasting with more stone fruit textures of peach and nectarine through the bulk and finish. This tea doesn’t have much of a tail to speak of. The brewed aroma is very light.

I would recommend this Oolong to oolong fans, those who enjoy fruit flavored teas and milk teas.

Thank you to Moonrise Tea for letting me try this!

The dry leaf was nice – sort of warm and comforting. The liqour was a brilliant golden colour and smelled very good. The taste is very interesting – I get warm, fruity notes and then at the very end of the sip, a slightly woody, bitter note which oddly is quite refreshing.

Second steep just as good, though I get less of the fruit and more of the woody notes.
