This is the fancy AAA Imperial grade from YS tea club, and its very nice.

Clear, less creamy than some ive tried, very leafy in taste. Still mega floral aroma, but somehow ‘natural’ – it reminded me of fresh nature. Not vegetal like green tea, sweet and magical. I think part of the reason I love these Anxi or Formosa oolongs is the aroma & taste is so different from standard English green teas it always floors me.

You could really taste the freshness, and the aftertaste was really nice and lingering. Also it took a few steeps to rinse the flavour into something more savoury.

Really yummy.

Was this one of the greener tin guan yin teas or one of the traditional darker ones?

This is one of the green ones. Totally lovely aroma I can never put my finger on what it is. Their ‘Jin Guan Yin’ is also very good.

Basically loads of Fenghuang, jade oolong & sheng puerh.

90+ is godly

80-90 is something i would buy again.

60-80 ok, but probably more bland or basic in their flavour.

0-60 something tastes wrong with this one.
