Togo drank Sanxia Traditional Oriental Beauty "Fan Zhuang" Oolong Tea - Summer 2017 by Taiwan Sourcing

996 tasting notes

This is an incredibly smooth tea, very floral with some subtle sweetness. There is absolutely no bitterness and only a very little astringency, but the mouthfeel is slightly drying and, interestingly, also mouth-watering.

Out of the oolongs I have tried, this one is definitely the closest to Darjeelings. It can also yield a lot of tea as long as you keep the early steeps short enough. Today I did 10 infusions giving 1l of tea from 5g of leafs.

Flavors: Floral, Honey, Muscatel, Sweet

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

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.
