With all the lilacs blooming in my neighbourhood its hard to smell this tea properly. The flowery smell is not overpowering like some Tie Guan Yins Ive had. It is more on the grassy side than flowery. Very nice still.

I love this tea! My love for Oolong teas started with Ti Kuan Yin, but I was glad to find this tea - it’s a cheaper and just-about-as-awesome.

Grrrrr – the hot water dispenser at work makes water at 180F. The Tao of Tea recommends 190F for full flavor for this tea… I’m getting a good cup at 180F for 3mins, but I need to try it at 190F.

This tea is fantastic. The first steeping runs a little harsh and minerally, but then it opens up into a fresh flower blossom, warm dew, pale stonefruit, and juicy cup.

Still a solid, super-floral, lilac-heavy delight.

This is easily my favorite tea right now. So much great fresh flavor. This has really opened up the world of greener oolongs to me. And it wasn’t even that expensive!
