This wonderful Tea is renowned in Taiwan. This is the first time i've tried a good quality Oolong and i'm looking forward to trying more. There's many types from different places with different roast levels too, classic light, medium and high.This Oolong from mount Li has almost a buttery flavour after a few steeps with a slightly fruityness and sweetness to it. There are vegetal notes there too..but in a good way.
I've learnt not to oversteep with these teas. 1 gram of tea per 30ml of water. For this particular rolled tea an initial rinse of the leaves to help unfurl them and then around 30 seconds for first steep. Allowing more time for further steeps of which I got around 6 from this particular batch. As can be seen from the photo when unfurled the leaves are in perfect shape and condition. Great stuff! ...Next! :)
