In this case the poetic Chinese name of Phoenix is quite appropriate; I predict this tea reappearing in my tasting notes again and again.
This tea is just fun! I’ve only had a couple cups all brewed differently with sharply contrasting results but they’ve all displayed a complex flavor profile and flexibility I don’t see in many teas. They usually center around stone fruits, muscatel, and herbs. I need to record all the parameters to nail how to get what flavor.
And what better way to start the day than oolong investigation and BBC? It’s the start of the 100 day coutdown to the Royal Wedding, after all! ;)
