Winter Tingle is a 2013 Da Hong Pao oolong that wasn’t all that enjoyable, but had potential to become something tasty. With the decision to make something like a menthol mouth feel with the mineral feel in the mouth, the oolong was surrounded by peppermint and cinnamon to change it over time. The process lasted six months.
The taste is subtle, but still very much alive. The peppermint has faded which creates a semi herbaceous undertone that goes along with the mineral notes from the dahongpao all while having the mouth feel from the cinnamon and peppermint. An easy drinker for the winter months for sure.
Each listing is for 28 grams of tea.
