more oolong than green
When I first opened the package of this tea, the aroma was so floral I thought it might be one of those single bush teas from Guangzhou, just east of Yunnan. Out of habit I brewed it like a heavier roasted oolong (fish eyes 180º or more) and by mistake, left it a bit too long (pot 2/3 full of leaves, 2+ mins). Happy accident! I got a nutty, almondy taste and a wonderfully pleasant back-of-the-throat feel. Next infusion, cooler (shrimp eyes), shorter, and I think I smell the plum blossoms, again reminders of Dan Cong but much lighter. I think I prefer the oolong type brew: raw almonds and pea shoots and subtle floral elements are in the cup as much as aromatic. The dry rolls of leaves are very long and surprisingly dark with silver bits, but the tea has a beautiful pale color brewed and full mouth feel for such a light tea. TGY and Alishan drinkers will find this tea a real treat. I usually don’t find green teas this interesting. Oh wait, this is an oolong!
