Thank you derk and Leafhopper. Received from first one mentioned, with second name on the label.
Steep count 2, both brewed similar.
I guess it is my first GABA oolong? Not sure, but certainly I don’t recall having any before. Who cares? Not me.
Leaves are big and have amazing look even when dry. Steeped western, in big strainer, however even this one is too small maybe?
Nose is saying honey for me, lightly vegetal, baked apples and spices, probably cinnamon.
Taste is great, very smooth, very similar to aroma described above, with some fruity note in the end of sip. In the second steep I notice more of the spices, fruitiness and vegetal notes are a bit stronger too.
I read that GABA should have inhibitory function (I read it after drinking first steep) and I feel I have to agree. I have been pretty much tired after work (long, monotonous job today) and this calmed me down and moreover, I have enjoyed a nice oolong at home. That all counts.
I’m glad you liked this tea. I have plenty more to swap if you’re interested.
I will consider it for sure :)
