Tastes of damp forest wood, slight underlying sweetness, counteracting a smooth bitterness. Complex, long lasting, worthwhile.

Vegetal and very sweet undertones with a hint of fruit. Thick and luscious. Gets sweeter at brew 5 onwards. Absolutely lovely.

This is a superb white tea. The aroma is intoxicating!

First brew yields a delicately sweet and vegetal liquor, that has a grainy/rice like overtone. Subsequent brews lose the graininess but remain sweet and grassy, and so so delicate and smooth. Later brews can become astringent, but never bitter.

This is a very beautiful looking tea, with very fresh looking and pretty green leaves!

Taste can be very delicate at low weight, I use maybe 5-7g for a medium gaiwan.

Taste is a bit sweet, vegetal and slightly, ever so slightly fruity.

Bio

I’m Robbie!

I’m 22 with a B.Sc in chemistry, currently doing a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry, both in University College Dublin.

Tea has become one of the most important parts of my life. I drink it almost everyday, and it grounds me whenever I need grounding, calms me when I need calming, and entertains me when I’m in need of entertaining.

I drink mostly oolong and puerh tea, sometimes green tea (in spring and summer), rarely white and yellow tea, and occasionally black tea (it comes in phases). I have a deep love for traditional oolongs, yancha and puerh (shou and sheng) in particular! :D
