Neat! A white… that tastes like a darjeeling/oolong!
It’s got a musky sort of drying finish, with the depth of an oolong and the crispness of a white. Amazing!! I’m not quite in love though… more like enchanted :)
Now the question is, do I buy a whole bunch before Teaopia dies? even though I have SO much in my cupboard as it is?
It resteeped well enough, but the profile didn’t change at all.. not even in the weakness/strength. Perhaps I’d get more notes using a Gawain?
Regardless, this is certainly a quality tea. Very smooth, very little astringency… and unique! Apparently, they added an extra step to the “white” processing, by bruising the leaves of Bai Mu Dan.
I would get more if you like it enough to regret not having it later.
Hmmm.Brainwave! I have a friend who works there. I’m thinking she might tip me off when the stock is about to run dry :P
AH HA moment! :)
YUP :)
