Finished off my sample of this tea last week. This Dayuling was nothing special given the prestige and high price tag attached to it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad tea by any means but I’ve had other high mountain oolongs and inexpensive low elevation tea that tasted better.
It’s got subtle florals with a wisp of nectar sweetness but lacks depth and fullness. Fairly thin and doesn’t go for many steeps.
The bad weather in Taiwan this past winter may be partly to blame here but in general, Dayuling seldom seems to justify the hype.
