Tasting notes

Steep one

• lovely pale yellow liquor with that creamy scent
• creamy mouthfeel and taste with a cooling effect on the palette
• rich without being overwhelming
• exactly what i like about milk oolong

Steep two

• slightly more vegetal rounded taste and less of the creaminess
• still maintained the mouthfeel

Additional notes

This has become one of my favourite teas. It tastes great no matter what you do to it. Brewed Western style? Fantastic. Gongfu session? Wonderful. Chuck a handful of leaves in a flask and drink it grandpa style? Goes all day and is never bitter. Used boiling water? Doesn't matter, still tasty.

This is a tea I'll come back to again and again.
