"Premium Ginseng Oolong Tea of Anxi" Fujian Ren Shen Wu Long

Oolong Tea by Yunnan Sourcing

Ginseng Oolong tea is made from Fujian Oolong tea plants, specifically Anxi Ben Shan varietal. Choice leaves are picked at an opportune time, dipped in Ginseng Powder and Licorice root powder and then hand-rolled into these pellets and dry roasted briefly in a wok to dry them out and bring out a special flavor.

Very good, although there a bit too much ginseng to my taste.
The lycoris is present in all brewing (often you can feel it only until the 3rd/4th one).
Brewed in a gaiwan 13cl: 10’’ rinse, 35’’, 30’’, 40’’,50’’, 1’15
The after taste is strong and stay a long time in the mouth and throat, very nice sensation. The tea has the taste of … ginseng :) And a sweet taste of lycoris.
I noticed something incredible: after sipping a cup, I drank some clear water and the sweet taste of the tea came back strongly in my throat !
