“Que She” aka Sparrow’s Tongue, is natural mutated offspring of a Da Hong Pao varietal growing in Jiu Long Ke for centuries. It was discovered in the 80’s but a Wu Yi local who noticed a couple of the Da Hong Pao bushes in the Jiu Long Ke garden yielded considerably smaller leaves and were also slightly darker in color. He single batch processed the tea and the result was something quite different from the other Da Hong Pao bushes. He took cuttings from these two bushes and naming them “Sparrow’s Tongue” he propagated them in several other Wu Yi gardens as a distinct varietal.
Our “Que She” is from F1 (first generation) bushes growing for about 30 years already. The tea is expertly processed with medium level of oxidation. The result is a lovely complex tea with notes of vanilla, carob, and lychee. This is a tea that can be aged with excellent results

Yunnan SourcingThis is a fairly expensive roasted oolong. It has a strong roast profile, tasting strongly of the roast throughout the first four or five steeps. In my opinion it is a little too roasted. It was quite nice in the seventh and eighth steeps if a little weak. A sweet note did develop when the roast faded, not sure what to call it.
I steeped this tea eight times in a 120ml gaiwan with 7.9g leaf and 200 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse and a 10 minute rest. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec. I think it was pretty much played out at eight steeps but I suppose I could have squeezed one or two more steeps out of it.
