Anxi Oolong (Tian Hua) from Silk Road Teas

Anxi Oolong (Tian Hua)

Oolong Tea by Silk Road Teas

This lightly oxidized Oolong comes from a farm in the Anxi Region from which we have purchased tea for a number of years. Rich green leaves have been rolled capturing a wonderful floral aroma. The leaves will slowly infuse and begin to release their essential flavors. With infusion, a golden liquor offers floral notes. This tea is rich, use sparingly, rinse the leaves then infuse in water of about 195–200 degrees and steep for 1 –1/2 minutes. It will provide multiple steeps.

Vary delicate aroma, and stronger floral taste. Maybe jasmine, not sure. Next steep will be interesting.
Another great oolong variety.

Tried more tea than usual. Improved the flavor. Delicious when cooled, but still warmer than room temperature.

This time, I let the tea cool to a little more than room temperature before tasting. The body was smooth and sweet. Floral aromas and taste dominate, but are not too strong.
The tea takes a least a couple of steeps for the leaves to unroll. The are small (around 1cm) pieces rather than entire leaves.

I’m not much for floral tastes & aromas, but I found this tea very refreshing with it’s subtle honeysuckle flavor. 2nd and 3rd steeps were the best.

Definitely has a strong flower aroma and taste, but as stated, not overpowering. Light in color, and the taste of the tea does seem to linger after sipping, which is nice. A great tea to have while relaxing after a long day.
