There’s something special about sipping on good tea at golden hour!! This is the last of the six oolongs in this sampler that I needed to try – now I have a serving of each left. I was surprised just how sweet this was! The body was a little bit lighter and more gentle than expected, but the honey notes were certainly not lacking in intensity. It was refreshing and beautiful, and also worked wonderfully with the other floral overtones and notes of ripe green melon that I picked up! I’m excited to now go through the second sample of each of the teas to see which of my first impressions will hold true or if any new and exciting flavours will come out with the next round of tasting!

I just looked at their site and they have some interesting oolongs, though the prices are quite high (almost $1/g for roasted Jin Xuan seems like a lot). It’s interesting that their bug bitten oolong comes from Fujian. I’ve seen one from Yunnan (can’t remember whether it was from Teavana or DAVIDsTea) and several from Thailand, but Fujian Bai Hao is new to me.
Oops, I lied! I was thinking of the Bai Hao Jingmai from Camellia Sinensis! That was a pretty nice tea, though it was lighter and didn’t have the sappy/resin notes of Taiwanese Bai Hao.
