From Verdant Tea

The autumn harvests of Tieguanyin are the most anticipated of the year. Autumn tieguanyin is the richest, headiest and most intoxicating expression of Anxi that you will ever find, and the fresh November harvest is the most anticipate of the year. The dry tea smells of clover and lilac, while the wet leaf evokes watermelon candy. It’s vibrant freshness supports a confident balance of sweetgrass and melon, lilac and almond rice pudding. These make us fall in love with modern green oolong all over again.

Classic, well-balanced and beautiful, this early autumn harvest from Master Zhang is a stellar example of the Anxi’s modern style, and brings us right back to sharing tea on the front porch above his family’s workshop. This autumn harvest is a tribute to the beautiful terroir of Master Zhang’s terraced fields in Daping, and to Zhang’s firm dedication to craftsmanship and land stewardship.

Had this one tonight when I was recovering from my nausea after eating. Was in the mood for a floral tea, but didn’t want one too strong, that it would push me back into sickness.
This one was perfect!
The nuttiness really balances out the floral-ness.
Not something I’d buy again, since I don’t really like the nutty flavor. But it was good for this afternoon! (:

Flavors: Floral, Nutty

At least, I have finished my supply of Autumn Tieguanyin. I think that this is probably the first time since I joined Steepster (all of those years ago!!) that I don’t have a bag or two of this tea lying around in my house.

It’s just an exceptional tea. It has a fantastic, rich aroma full of jasmine, floral notes that is just as delicious on the palette. It has that glorious thick, buttery texture and, as always with these lovely oolongs, just steeps on and on for ages.

Absolutely delicious. I’ll be picking up some more when I finally put my next Verdant order in. Goodness knows it’s been long enough!

I still have an unopened bag of this hanging out in my tea cupboard, heh ^^

By the way – do you remember if you sent me some sticky rice tuo from Tao Tea Leaf? I drank the last one a couple of days ago, and when I came to write it up it wasn’t on my spreadsheet so I didn’t know who sent it. Looked like your handwriting though?

Oh quite possibly! I’m not sure I’d remember if it was me or not at this point though hahaha. Did you enjoy it? I definitely enjoyed the ones I had :D

Yeah I was a little fuzzy on the memory too, but the handwriting was super neat so I thought maybe you :’) Yeah I did! It was actually perfect for the day I was having, curled up with a book watching the rain outside. Bliss. (:
