Cha Yi sent this as a sample in my order!
I was intrigued to see this oolong is from Japan. I mostly found this to have a creamy flavour with subtle florals (much more subtle than a Si Ji Chun). As the tea is almost fully cooled, more vegetal flavours come forward. Otherwise, it’s a very clean flavour and I quite enjoyed it. I would happily pick 50g of this one up.
The first cup was quite light in flavour as I lowered the steep time. I found the longer steep time allowed this tea to shine more.
1st steep 4 minutes
2nd steep 5 minutes
