Baigushan Organic "Sapphire of Pear" Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea - Summer 2022

Sweet bread and warm fruit smell in the warm gai wan! So enjoyable to smell and sit with.

First steep 15 seconds: Oh my, super super delicious! So sweet and textured in the mouth! Makes me salivate and lubricates my mouth. I didn’t want to share it lol. (alas, I did). Maybe it is a pear sweetness? I can’t really say, but very yummy.

Second steep 15 seconds: Still sweet and textured, with a savory quality added in. Definitely lubricating and making me salivate still.

Third steep 30 seconds: Sweetness replaced with a savory rich quality that I can’t really describe. It’s very good and still textured.

Fourth steep (time passed…): Taking on a nice white tea quality. Some kind of sweet leaf taste that I get from large leaf white teas.

Fifth steep (time passed…): More of the same. A solid white tea kind of taste.

I had this the same morning as drinking a super bitter tea, so the complete lack of bitterness was exactly what I was looking for.

Big fan of this, and it’s organic too which is great. It’d be amazing if it’s unique character lasted a little longer.
