well, this tea is certainly very interesting. It has a very beautiful long and slender leaf shape.
Upon opening it I got a smoky smell like a lapsang souchong which was really surprising!
I stepped this for about 90 seconds in cooler water (not sure of the exact temperature)
To me this tastes of pine, wood and ocean. I’m not sure I love it but it is very intriguing and complex… the website says it carries the taste and smells of the misty northern Fujian countryside where it is grown. I am definitely picking that up here, very cool.
Preparation
170 °F / 76 °C
1 min, 0 sec
sounds better than a 76….
perhaps it will grow on me.
Looks like a stunningly scrumptous tea. I’d buy it, if i was ordering more teas from Tao.
Scott, let me know if you want a sample of it
ok, I’ll PM fora swap
