2009 Fall Huang Jin Gui - Anxi Oolong Tea |
|
|
|
The name of this particular tea cultivar is Huang Jin Gui, which roughly translates to "Royal Golden Turtle." (FYI: Some refer to this particular tea cultivar as "Golden Osmanthus" in English)
Huang Jin Gui has a distinctive smoothness and a more pronounced and lingering "Hui Gan" (aftertaste) than some high grade Tie Guan Yin oolongs from the same region. It posesses lovely & distinct floral overtones, but this tea is less overtly "Lilac-flowery" & bittersweet than the high grade Tie Guan Yin oolongs that we offer. A true treat that was harvested in late September, 2009. Not to be missed! End of vintage clearance. 25% off any quantity. While

Sweet, floral, mellow, lovely
Huang Jin Gui by Norbu Tea
Just opened this one, and it is lovely. First impressions are sweet, floral, delicate, with less caramel than an Alishan and yes, less sharpness than a TGY, but these changes bring the sweet and floral notes front and center. Wow.
Using a small porcelain gaiwan, about 2 grams of tea in 60mL with water 195 degrees, about 30-45 seconds per infusion to start.
