drank Luye Organic "Longan Nectar" Red Oolong Tea - Winter 2017 by Taiwan Sourcing
947 tasting notes

The dry leaf aroma is almost non-existent, but once you start steeping… wow. It hits you with this very expansive fruity and floral mix that’s unlike anything I have ever smelled. I just can’t get enough of the wet leaf smell.

I would actually recommend to drink the first infusion already and skip the wash. It is lighter and more viscous, but delicious from the get go.

Progressively, the infusions become thicker and more “nectar” like with silky texture, great fruitiness and some sweetness. The taste is very balanced though, with pleasant sourness and very mild astringency that’s almost unnoticeable.

If you like fruity teas, then you really shouldn’t pass on this one, it’s a treat.

Flavors: Floral, Fruity, Passion Fruit, Peach, Pleasantly Sour

Preparation
200 °F / 93 °C 1 min, 0 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

I loved the spring version of this tea, so I’m not surprised the winter one is equally as good.

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
