1.25grams to 250mL water at 85C, steeped four minutes.

I received this as a gift fr a friend who was justin London.

Dry leaf is long and twisty, various shades of green: very inviting.

Dry aroma is white tea, slightly floral, and the finest bit earthy.

Wet leaf is pale, pale green, liquor a pale rosy-beige.

Aroma is more vegetal than I expected, closer to some green teas. However, the tea yields that lovely muscatel note of many Darjeelings and Nepal teas. Crisp mineral finish with some floral and vegetal lingering.

With cooler water and a shorter steep, it might be a bit sweeter. I;ll try 80C on the next one.

Just lovely.

I prefer straight teas but will try almost anything … so long as it’s not tainted with hibiscus. I loathe hibiscus.

Floral oolong and complex black teas are my favourites.
