Starts off nutty & savoury. Medium thickness liquor from the first steep! chocolate notes from the leaves. The roast isnt strong at all, and the tea has a pleasant woody/natural classic oolong-ness to it.
I brewed 4g in my 60ml gaiwan and maybe that was a bit too little, but the flavour definitely says da hong pao, with hints of nuts, a bit of sweet, and a lovely oily oolong flavour that sits on the tongue. Theres a nice balance of flavours in there. it gets thicker too.
It tastes new, doesnt have any charred sharpness to it, round and soft. Still tastes ‘wise’ like an oolong should taste, but a bit more like the zen masters apprentice than the zen master. haha. Mellow without being weak. I really like it! – I really feel like im in the enviornment, misty mountains and dewy forests :)
Every steep went down one after another. fifth steep in, its the gift that keeps on giving. Started mellow (refined?) and is just keeping up with it.
Mental image was creamy water droplets infused with misty forests.
Flavors: Cream, Nuts, Wood
