Togo drank Purple Varietal "Yue Guang Bai" White Tea of Dehong by Yunnan Sourcing

1008 tasting notes

This is a great tea that is pungent, balanced and lasts long. It reminds me of the Wild tree purple white tea from Jinggu that YS sells, but this one is even more savoury and full of umami flavours. As such it also reminds me of sencha and ya bao teas.

It has a very coating and mouth-filling texture and flavours of seaweed, dill, chicken stock, but also some sweet florals. The aftertaste is sweet and vegetal with notes of strawberries and thyme, among others.

Flavors: Chicken Soup, Dill, Floral, Marine, Pungent, Seaweed, Strawberry, Sweet, Thyme, Umami, Vegetal

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 0 min, 15 sec 5 g 3 OZ / 100 ML

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
