Sorbet citrus with softly complex floral and vegetal notes

Unlike any other oolong blend, Tielka’s Fairtrade organic Midnight Blossom Oolong Tea combines the fresh, young citrusy notes of Australian lemon myrtle with Hubei’s Tie Kuan Yin oolong tea and is finished with a soft hint of jasmine flowers. Originating from Hubei’s high elevation tea gardens, Ti Kuan Yin oolong tea is hand harvested and each leaf tightly rolled to allow a gradual release of complex sweet, floral and even peppery notes. Suitable for multiple infusions, which each infusion revealing new nuances of this unique blend.

I was in mood of flavoured oolong today. I have some other oolongs that have last serving left but no, I just had to pick this one. Just had to.

I weighted 4 grams of this wonderful tea; visually as well as the quality of the ingredients. Big pieces of jasmine and lemon myrtle with nice amount of beautiful small balls of oolong. I haven’t checked on the scale the ratio, but I believe it could be 2 grams of oolong + 2 grams of herbs.

I have used, as suggested, 85°C water and steeped for 3-4 minutes; haven’t timed exactly… but it was closer to the 4.
A very nice whiff of lemony scent was coming from my mug and then the floral note took part as well. The scent was heavenly.
After removing the strainer I got a wonderful light clear green coloured liquid that was right something I wanted to drink… but it still too hot.

When sipped for first time, I distinctly noticed the myrtle. Slightly lemony and herbaceous in the same time, accompanied with floral notes of jasmine. In the end of the sip there was a slight mineral aftertaste, probably from the oolong itself.

Honestly I like this tea more than I thoguht. I assume it’s because so unique combination and it works so well. Just keeping the right ratio between base tea and other ingredients seems a bit tricky.

Note: I received Tielka teas, included in this (and following) tasting notes, free of charge in exchange for a tasting note. I will do my best to remain unbiased, but of course, I am very grateful for this opportunity.
