From Bitterleaf Teas

Description from bitterleafteas.com
Sometimes translated as “Apricot Kernel Fragrance”, we’ve never eaten an apricot pit and therefore can’t attest to whether this is accurate or not. However, this can also be translated as “Almond Fragrance”, which we find this tea demonstrates nicely.

There is a sugar-like sweetness upfront, with a smooth nutty quality that quickly follows. The mouth feel is also excellent, especially for a mid-mountain altitude (>600m) tea.

The development is quite nice from brew to brew, with the almond taste becoming more pronounced by the mid steeps. Overall, this is a great performing tea for the price.

Please note that the 250g size does not include a tin.

$0.43-0.53/gram

Varietal: Xingrenxiang/杏仁香/Almond Fragrance
Region: Wudong Shan, Guangdong

Dry leaf has a nutty, woody and a subtle sweet and honey note to it and hints of coffee and flowers. The wet leaf gives off a nice floral and vegetal/grassy note still with hints of honey and sugarcane. Texture is nice and clear while being slightly bitter and astringent. After swallowing the tea gives me a nice sweetness at the back of my tongue. The tea did have the taste of almond and furthermore it had woody, fruity and floral notes with some mineral and caramel hints. It wasn’t a super special tea but still very drinkable and nice. I used the Chaozhou gongfu method with a Chaozhou teapot to brew this tea.
