I think I’ve enjoyed past harvests of Tieguanyin from Verdant better. Although to be fair, I did a western brew (after a short rinse), which doesn’t seem to be my favourite way to drink oolong.
This one tastes predominantly of white foods- like cream, skinned nuts, rice pudding.. but the prevalent floral-lilac and sweet-melon aspects give this tea some playfully colourful highlights and a neat finish.
It’s a solid cup that improves on each re-steep, although I do wish there was a buttery presence.

Interesting…I haven’t seen teas compared to white foods like that. How many steeps did you get out of this? Is this a lighter TGY?
My roommate and I probably got about six pots out of it in combined total from last night and today, although we weren’t nursing it hard.
It was generally light, but it had a kind of vegetal/plant-based food creaminess which made it feel kind of thick at times? Roommate overdid one of the steeps and that pot tasted like a green tea..
Neat!
