Creamy floral deliciousness
The first thing that hit me was the creaminess of this tea. I have yet to try a milky oolong, but if any oolong is milky, it is this one. The color when brewed at 190F in a gaiwan is more yellow green. Almost like the inside of an avocado. The taste is smooth and not heavy in tannins or what I call apple skin flavor. If a tea can be juicy this one is. The floral and creamy taste doesn't linger long, but the apple skin flavor is what is left over on the tongue. Like most green oolong I've tasted, the later steeps begin to taste a little more like apple skins the more you steep. Losing the creaminess, then more floral and apple skin, and then just apple skins. The scent of the tea is a creamy jasmine like scent, with cinnamon undertones and as my aroma cup cools, the scent turns into a light rose and peony fragrance. On my gaiwan lid, it gives a creamy, floral, and boiled vegetal scent. My leaves were also very tightly rolled and unfurled beautify into half a pinky length leaves. Must have tea!
