13 Tasting Notes
Gong fu 1g tea to 15 g water, 20s wash, 50seconds + 15 each steep
Received as a sample from eco-cha’s subscription service (twice, actually, but not complaining)
Everything I love in high mountain oolong is here: nice balance of savory/sweet, smooth buttery mouthfeel, intense aroma. Highly recommend!
Preparation
This is my first time ordering a whole cake, so I’m not too great at breaking off whole chunks at a time. Best I can do right now is pick off a few leaves at a time, with the end result being a bit like maocha.
Very sweet, not very bitter/astringent. The aroma is incredible, super sweet stone fruit and honey.
Brewed 1g/15ml with boiling water
Unique and a lot of fun. The maltiness of the black with the sweetness of the white tea are balanced quite well. Reminds me a bit of Arnold Palmer but all tea?
Brewed Gongfu, but seeing in comments that I should try grandpa style as well. One of my favorite from White2tea so far.
