mmmmm leaf smells good
leaf: oh yeah me like large green leaves.
liquor slowly takes a clear green color. *** liquor remains green after multiple infusions even at higher temp water (unlike any other tea ive had which turn yellow). ***-> this may be due to having the leaf in the glass - reflections of green confusing the eye. i moved the liquor w/o leaf to another glass, it seemed to be yellowish.
Wet leaves slow to unfurl reveal their nice evenly oxidized orange borders.
flavor: 5.5/7 - complex taste - flowery yummy with green, i think there’s a melon flavor but unsure. Overall taste is very similar to the Phoenix oolong, but this one as even the leaf shows - its more green. mild astringency is present after longer steep but nice and greenish. flavor is slow to extract from the leaves.
very good, very pleasant.
take it home? maybe. - would choose a phoenix oolong 1st.
