drank Shan Lin Xi by Spirit Tea
4 tasting notes

A really nice high quality Shan Lin Xi. I drank this brewed in a gaiwan in it’s entirety(multiple infusions mixed together) in a coffee shop, but I’m sure that brewing gong fu cha the intensity of flavor and sweetness will be more pronounced.

Huge silky body. Lots of buttery florality going on, but still crisp and green.

Notes of cucumber and jasmine. I’m most impressed by the way this tea finishes. It’s satisfying, smooth, mouth watering, and I can’t help but take another drink.

It’s not the most complex Taiwanese oolong that I have had, and a little flat at that, but for that silky body it’s worth my recommendation.

Preparation
