[Spring 2021 harvest]

Respectable and cozy gaoshan oolong, which is nevertheless too expensive for what it offers imo.

It has a sweet creamy scent when dry and an aroma of alpine forest (mugo pice, ets), snow peas and apricots when wet. The taste is relatively savoury with a vegetal biterrness, floral sweetness and mild fruity tartness. There are flavours of sweet apples and apple skins, celery stalk, pine, mung bean and green beans as well as many flowers.

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.
