Pardon me, I’m tea buzzed. Short note.
Tastes like sipping on toffee loaded with chopped dry-roasted almonds. Nice florality and pervasive fresh grassiness and plant stems. Osmanthus is subtle and puts a smile on my face. Bitterness and minerality keep it from becoming cloyingly sweet. Yes.
Longer gongfu steep times and no rinse because I didn’t want to wash away the osmanthus scenting.

I love this one too and reach for it more than my other flower scented teas. It’s a good one for grandpa steeping.

I’ll have to try the remaining amount grandpa, then. I wonder what the oxidation percentage is of this tea. It’s so much more darkly sweet than other Jin Xuan I’ve had.
