3 Tasting Notes
I got this as part of the Liquid Proust 2017 regional oolong group buy.
I used 10g steeped at 190. No rinse, first steep was 30 seconds, then 20 for steep two.
Although it is a rolled oolong it opened up straight away. The smell of the wet leaf is hard for me to place. I get strong savory notes, with floral sweetness underneath.
The taste, classic floral notes, green grass, spring day.
I will definitely be purchasing more of this tea.
Flavors: Bitter, Broth, Floral
Preparation
I got this tea as part of the Liquid Prost Regional oolong group buy.
At first the flavour was really light, I started with the water at 185 but bumped it up to 190 after two steeps. The smell of the wet leaf made me think of walking along a dirt path in a dense forest. Earthy, slight campfire smell. The taste for the first 4 steeps was pretty much like it smelled, but at the end of the 5th steep I noticed a faint floral sweetness begin to develop
Flavors: Ash, Burnt, Campfire, Char, Earth, Floral, Forest Floor
