Right then, another Oolong for my taste test, this time a Qi Lan from Fujian.
First off, a ever-so-slightly tiny amount of burnt honey smell from the steeped leaves & a very subtle taste of petals & burnt honey, like some flower petals have been smoked by burnt honey. – Interesting Amandas review says something similar, where the smoke feels distant. Thats exactly what its like. slightly nutty, sweet, fragrant, with some melon, flowers & nectar thrown in.
Its medium thick in the mouth with a subtle honey & cream aftertaste, which lingers a short amount of time.
All in all a nice session, didnt smack me around the face like some, but nothing bad about it either. Perfect for the time you want that taste but dont want it to be so strong, during a jade/white/green session it would fit perfectly.
Flavors: Honey, Melon, Nectar, Nutty, Orchid, Sweet
