Tsui Yu Oolong Tea

Lovely balanced tea!

I ordered the Four Seasons Spring, Shan Lin Yi, and Li Shan high mountain oolong, and this was my favorite of the four! 3g/60ml, 90*C water It was an excellent tea gongfu style, with notes of thyme and rosemary on the herbal side, a savory greenness, and floral notes reminiscent of mi lan xiang and zha ping shui xian. There was good sweetness as well. The florality was not overwhelming, nor did it have any lily or daffodil scent (two aromas that guarantee an instant headache for me). The floral notes have more of the scent I think of as "cotton". This tea was excellent for gongfu brewing, but I also think it would brew nicely in a more casual western manner. It almost doesn't feel like an oolong, but rather the platonic ideal of a green tea in a way.

Subtle Zest

Very light and smooth with a little extra flavor on the flip side

Refreshing

Just received my order yesterday and tried the Tsui Yu right away. I love the refreshing greeness of the taste, flavour which is so delicate. Great for drinking it throughout the day,
