This tea is no longer listed on the Verdant website, and the more recent Full Roast Wulong Revival says that the maker used a new process, so it would not be accurate to just use the description from the new one.
Dry leaf aroma is chocolate and the thing I can’t remember the name of..I think MadHatter knows. It is the smell of the art class in acrylic painting that I took as a child. I think sometimes people describe it as latex that makes it sound like a bad thing.
I was expecting this to be much darker and toastier, maybe even smoky, with full roast in the name. It is rich tasting even after all these years, so maybe this is a wulong that ages well.
I made three steeps by their parameters, using 5 grams of leaf per 200 ml boiling water. First steep was 10 seconds, second was 12 seconds, third was 14 seconds or so. The steeps were combined into a single pot and enjoyed with and after breakfast.
This is not at all smoky and full roast is a good description. It is a little reminiscent of the Tung Ting we buy from Tin Roof Teas. We will probably finish this one this weekend as it is one of Ashman’s favorite profiles.
