From Siam Tee Shop

Handpicked black tea from 100+ years old “Thuyet Shan” (= “Snow High Mountain”) tea trees in Ha Giang province, Vietnam. Our producer partner in Vietnam picks this tea from March to midst of May and from September to November every year with a picking standard of 1+2 from the tea trees of their biodiverse and health and environment-friendly operated plantation, located at altitudes of 1400+ meters. Until today, a large part of the processing is done manually and in form of a true “artisan process”.

Second of 7 teas from SiamTeas Clubbox January ’23 – Tuyet Shan, prepared western; with 5 grams / 300 ml. Gongfu steeping with remaining 5 grams next time.

Honestly, I am disappointed with this tea. Prepared similar to suggested parameters, yet it was dismal. The visual of the leaf is perfect, many golden tips, wiry, twisted leaves, some black, though they are not shiny, but that’s fine.

I was ready for “At this, the most coining features are malty and cocoa notes and a pronounced, but nevertheless pleasant roast aroma.” but it was just malty, and somehow flat. I will borrow a note from Courtney with tea with same name, but from Teerausch: " I wouldn’t say this is anything special, but not bad to drink as I work on school stuff."

Yep, that’s it. Nothing special, a nice daily drinker, but that’s all. A dismal after such unique and interesting oolong from very same leaves. And nothing as chocolate or roasty here. What’s worse, second — 4 minute steep didn’t helped it develop better tastes. It was actually almost the same as the first. Hmm…
