From The Steeping Room

This high mountain organic tea from Yu Shan (Jade Mountain) has an incredible fragrance of refreshing, concentrated florals and alpine air. It’s soft, lush, and supple in the mouth with a nice thick feeling in the mouth after swallowing. Highly recommended!

Hand-picked, Qingxin cultivar. Winter 2021 harvest.

Another sample courtesy of derk.

My session was kind of rushed so I didn’t take the best notes. The enormous green leaves had a faint floral aroma which turned cucumber-like and fruity after a rinse. Took quite a few steeps for the flavor to develop. Mellow with gentle florals, a pear like fruitiness, and a candied sweetness once it cools. Being a year old, some of its oomph is understandably lost but it still gives a nice glimpse of its past glory.

Cold brewing brings out a much livelier flavor. Clean, fruity, and refreshing with a green grape crispness and lingering floral aftertaste.

Flavors: Cucumber, Floral, Fruity, Grapes

The leaf transforms the frantic energy of boiling water into the slow and deliberate process of a lily in bloom. Subtle and soft, absolutely stunning! Perfect bowl tea with long steeps, many refills. The deeper notes come out much later. Curious how a gongfu session presents.

A repurchase for sure. I remember having a Yu Shan oolong from Beautiful Taiwan Tea Company early in my journey. This one lives up to the memory. Some of it will be coming your way, Leafhopper :)

Feeling: contemplative, soft and soothing, yin
