This one had characteristics of a milk oolong and a TGY. Lots of cream, dairy, and orchid like flavors. Thick mouthfeel and a very milky texture. There was a slight staleness to it but that didn’t detract from the flavor.
I steeped 3.5g in a 80ml gaiwan for 10s and then added 2s to subsequent steeps per Verdant’s instructions. The dry leaf smelled like cream, with some floral aromas similar with TGY. I detected hints of orchid, iris, and what seemed like lavender. Wet leaf had more of a vegetal aroma.
The tea starts of TGY like and then shifts to buttercream with vegetal tones. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. By the 3rd steep settles into a milk oolong like taste.
Despite being a little stale, this tea was able to show a lot of natural milkiness and had a nice creamy taste and texture. Personally I thought this tea was kinda boring. I got tired of it after a handful of steeps due to the lack of flavor evolution in taste.
Flavors: Cream, Flowers, Milk
