This is one of my personal favorites. This oolong has such vibrant flavors. I definitely agree with those that mention notes of moss, and I also pick up on some of the lilac aroma mentioned on the packaging, along with some sandalwood. I love the light glowing green color.
I am trying to drink up all my lower oxidation teas to make room for 2014 spring teas. This tea was something I was planning on opening and just drinking through but I was pleasantly surprised.
The dry leaves smelled fresh and vegetal like any good taiwanese oolong should. I was surprised because A. this was a cheap purchase from amazon as an add on to quality for free shipping and B. four seasons is literally picked 4x/year so in theory it can not posses half as much aromatic oils of other gao shan that are barely picked 2x/year.
I brewed it at work but still loosely gave it the gong fu of 45 second (+15-20) and near boiling water. After drinking the first steeping I will 100% be keeping this around my cabinet indefinitely. The cup was super oily even after a rinse which clued me into the quality. The liqueur had a fairly heavy body for a green oolong and a smooth slightly creamy slightly sweet profile which immediately reminded me a lower quality Ali Shan. The buzz I received after 9-10 steepings was pretty intense, it gave me the gao shan grin and focused energy to actually make work enjoyable.
All in all another great buy from rishi, I have come to learn most of there high end oolongs (dan cong fragances, gao shan) are vastly overpriced still good not worth the money but their lower end teas (tky, baozhong, jade, wuyi) are budget worthy staples to be daily drinkers.
