Got this as a free sample with my order a while back. Just now getting around to trying it. It’s one of their lass expensive oolongs but it’s quite good. It’s got a note that people would call buttery even if it doesn’t quite seem that way to me. It’s not too grassy or vegetal but is nice and sweet. I would really be tempted to order more of this tea. It is quite good. I have enough of the sample left for one more gongfu session. I should also note there was very little bitterness to this tea.

I brewed this eight times in a 129ml gaiwan with 7g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. So far I have to say I have not gotten anything that wasn’t good from Taiwan Sourcing.

Flavors: Butter, Sweet

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 7 g 4 OZ / 120 ML

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
