Our Tie Guan Yin Long Haul is processed with an emphasis on traditional style roasted processing.
An intense roast with a thick bodied tea that has endurance to last all day. A densely layered roast with intrigue from steep to steep. Best brewed gongfu style, but a few grams in a thermos would provide a grandpa thermos to be envied by all.
Each purchase is for roughly 7-8 grams of tea. (each bag will vary by .x grams or so)
Gongfu Sipdown (2732)!
I want to be better about sipdowns this year, so today I’m finishing off this smaller sample I’ve been sitting on for a while. It’s a beautifully smooth and deeply roasty tasting oolong packed full of notes of charred nuts, carob, toasted buckwheat, and espresso interlaced with an overarching minerality. However, the elements of this tea that I loved the most were the sweetly floral and aromatic mix of lychee, plum, and rose notes that gradually grew stronger with each infusion. Though the lychee and plum were pretty apparent from the first steep, the flavours consistently seemed to get deeper with time, making a seamless transition from top notes to these vast feeling and jammy, palate-coating flavours that seemed to pour out from the mid sip into a lingering finish on the back of the tongue. The contrast of dark roast and mineral with such fleshed out fruit and floral notes was so dynamic and pleasing to sip on; I really pushed these leaves as far as they would possibly brew. It was such a fun exploration and luxurious feeling session with the added bonus of being my first sipdown of the new year!!
