Surpassing the quality of most of the commonly available Ti Kuan Yins, this grade from the Chinese Anxi County is a terrific value. Its golden-yellow liquor is smooth and fragrant, carrying a refreshing, fruity aroma as well as the sought-after orchid-like flavor. Use one heaping teaspoon per cup and steep 1.5-2 minutes in near boiling water.
Oh my. I lump “oolong” and “green” together in my mind most of the time, but this tea may just force me to accept finer distinctions. This is an absolutely delicious tea, very sweet and flowery, and not at all what I expect when I think of green tea. Oolong, huh.
ETA: And it’s definitely getting juicer with resteeping. Interesting!
To me, this one’s like a blend of green and oolong. Nice fermenty oolong background, but also a little vegetabley. Nice.
