2022 harvest. Another quicky note in passing. This tea, overall, is not something I’d rush to re-order. However, I feel like I have to note this flavor that I have not yet run across on my tea journey so far. I suspect it’s a defining characteristic of rock oolong, but I don’t know enough about the cultivar yet. In the first two or three steeps, there was a distinct minerality and “fresh springwater” taste that I found delightful and hard to pin down. It gave me the feeling of drinking something rather ethereal, and at the same time (water, ha) very approachable. Just the faintest whisper of pear blossom around that same minerality. Otherwise unremarkable during this session, but I look forward to spending more time with it when I can focus more.
Flavors: Mineral, Pear, Spring Water
