From Mountain Tea

We’ve taken the finest high mountain Green DongDing oolong, made from QingXing leaf, and gradually roasted it in small intervals to create a light roast worthy of your collection.

A well-crafted light roast will often have two stages; the initial steep will have the spicy complexity of a roast, and the later brews will become more akin to a green oolong, fruity and slightly floral. Unique, delightfully surprising, difficult to master, all apt descriptions of a proper light roast oolong.

The leaf is a deep forest green, tinged with autumn’s colors. A sweet and inviting scent of honey and rose permeate the dry aroma. Baking spices will dominate the first few cups, a nasal cinnamon flavor most prominent with a mellow honey richness in the aftertaste. Beyond the third cup, the spiciness will segue into tropical fruitiness, pineapple and grapefruit.

This is an interesting one, sent kindly as a sample from Mountain Tea. im doing gong fu @ 90 degrees, 10/15/25 etc. the first few steeps have got almond-y notes and later its tasting a bit more like a jade oolong. milkyness in taste and slight butter aroma.

nice lingering aftertaste that changes. im getting some orchids now, similar to a dan cong orchid flavour but without the roasty savouryness.

theres some kind of sweet in there from my childhood too. ahh its milk bottles :)
