Togo drank Fanpokeng Natural Farming Dah Pan "Butter Longan" Red Oolong Tea by Taiwan Sourcing

947 tasting notes

Taiwan Sourcing has some very nice red oolongs. This one is fairly subtle, but I like it a lot. The aroma is on the sweet and fruity side, while the taste is more woody and nectar-like. It remains quite sweet throughout though. There is also some warming star anise spiciness, chicory-like sour bitterness, and sweet potato earthy sweetness. The mouthfeel is a little astringent and bubbly with medium body and soft presence. Interestingly, the aftertaste stays warming for a while – it’s a good tea for colder rainy spring days.

Flavors: Anise, Astringent, Bitter, Cookie, Flowers, Fruity, Nectar, Sour, Spices, Sweat, Sweet Potatoes, Wood

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 0 min, 30 sec 6 g 5 OZ / 140 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
