Formosa Pouchong TT92

Oolong Tea by Upton Tea Imports

This handcrafted Pouchong selection has an attractive shape and well-twisted appearance. The liquor possesses a gentle floral fragrance and flavor note. The liquor has hints of melon and an overall smooth, mild character. A very fine grade of this popular style of green tea.

1 Tasting Note

El Monstro
84

Scent: Reminds me of the fresh seaweed and cucumber salad served in sushi restaurants. I also get a perfumey, sweet scent as it cools, which the seaweed smell takes a back seat to.
Taste: Unique, I cant quite think of anything similar to compare it to . Fresh, a little sweet, and floral (kind of makes me think of lavender) is the best way I can describe it. I like this with long steeps and no sugar.
Update: the most recent time I had this I got some hints of cinnamon-like notes after it had cooled down quite a bit.
