Very nice ti kuan yin. Hits a lot of the typical oolong notes, but avoids being boring by offering nice, strong, and vibrant flavors. Sometimes that is hard to find with this style of tea, as I have experienced a few which seem to be very weak in flavor.

Orchid florals, peachiness, and chestnut notes just as described by the vendor, plus to me I also find some apricot. Responds well to western-style steeping. I’ve had good results with 3 minutes at 195° for a first steep, and 5 minutes at 195° for a second steep. Probably would work for a third steep as well.

I love tea. Mainly Chinese teas, such as Keemuns, Shui Xian oolongs when I can find/afford them, Yunnan golden buds, and delicate spring greens. With so many options, though, I keep trying new teas.
