1 1/2 tsp in 12oz
Very enjoyable. I have figured out how I feel about this tea. It is really amazing. Very much right in the middle of the spectrum between green and black. Completely non-astringent when brewed properly. (I realized that the thermometer I had been using until recently was under-reporting the temp by 10-15 degrees, yikes.) It is silky and naturally sweet with a hint of a floral essence. When I compare it to a couple of Bai Hao’s I’ve tried, it is very similar though perhaps more floral where the Bai Hao’s tend to have more of a honey-like sweetness.
I really like this tea, but it is similar enough to a Bai Hao (which I prefer slightly) that I probably won’t make this one a cupboard staple.

I just put in an order with this company for a bunch of the stuff on the first page of high ratings, should be interesting.
You are in for a treat! Their teas are amazing. Too bad they are out of the Taiwanese Wild Mountain Black. That is the best in my opinion.

Oolongs are kind of my tea blind spot, but you’re persuading me that I have to do a little investigating.
