From Happy Earth Tea

Formerly called "Himalayan Shilla." A stunning tea from Organic Jun Chiyabari, Nepal that is a must-have for tea lovers.

Himalayan Shilla is an oolong with a medium oxidation and a Darjeeling nuance.

DRY TEA: Clean and well rolled with gorgeous tips and sweet notes recalling burnt caramel and grapes. It also has woodsy, spicy fragrances.

INFUSION: Olive green with a nose of sweet plum notes, spice and tropical flowers.

CUP: A bright golden amber with a sweet bouquet of flowers and ripe plums. The tea is smooth and has sweetness of custard apple. Enjoy a elegant and lingering aftertaste.

At first scent, the leaves don’t make me think of anything special. I only smell a nice earthy oolong with a hint of sweetness in the aroma. There weren’t any steeping instructions with this, so I opted for 3tsp in 16oz at 190 for 3 minutes. The light gold-amber liquid smells strongly of the oolong’s earthiness with a hint of smokiness. The taste of the liquor is strange – I had to take a few sips to really comprehend the complex flavor. It’s very much an oolong, but has a subtle sweetness to it, like a honey flavor. The flavor takes over the whole mouth in a pleasing sensation, lingering on the tongue. I only had a sample of this, but I would definitely recommend it.
