Sipdown, 115. Another sad sipdown, this one sadder because it is never coming back into my stash. At least, this particular tea; if I ever come across a light oxidation tieguanyin again I will have to look into it. I did manage to get a bit more of this from the wonderful Sil, so I got a change to drink some more. The scent of this one teases the complexity of it’s taste. When first brewed, the aroma wafting over was relatively roasty and much like a normal, traditional TGY, but as it’s cooling to drinking temperature the sweet, floral notes are coming out. Mmm, I agree with my previous tasting notes on this about the flavors. Bready and a bit sweet, not very roasty but a little “bakey”, and freshly green at the same time. A lovely oolong.
