Miaoli County, Taiwan 2013 Late Spring Pluck.
The dry leaves smell of rye bread and they are larger leaves than I have seen in other Oriental Beauties that I have tried. They have the distinctive speckled appearance of browns, dark browns, moss greens, and cream leaves.
Brewed this Western-style and tasted at 2 minutes, wasn’t sweet or strong enough so left the leaves steeping for a total of 3 minutes.
The wet leaves turn into large brown fall colored leaves with an orange spice scent.
The liquor is golden brown and has flavors of apricot, tangy grape skins, cream.
Delicious.
