90

This is a well-reviewed and highly rated tea and deservedly so. It has a charming aroma of greens, spinach, broccoli, butter, and spice. The taste is fairly pronounced for Taiwan oolongs, with the dominant notes of grass, spinach, minerals, and seaweed. Spice, salt , and nuts as secondary flavors, with a lingering herbal and spicy aftertaste.

I usually prefer “louder” teas that grab you and this is still an oolong, which requires you to concentrate and pay an undivided attention to it to appreciate all it has to offer. But it was one of the more assertive, and, frankly, better oolongs that i have tried, without any obvious weaknesses.

Flavors: Broccoli, Butter, Grass, Mineral, Salt, Salty, Seaweed, Spices, Spinach

Bio

I like to drink teas to recreate a specific mood, or just to take a break at work. The world of tea is so endless, patiently waiting for exploration and rewarding you in many ways big and small.

I am looking forward to years of playing with tea leaves, gaiwans, cups, and YouTube videos.

My ratings:

90 or more – a very good/excellent tea, I can see myself ordering it again.

80-89 – it is a good tea, I enjoyed it but not enough to reorder.

70-79 – an OK, drinkable tea but there are certainly much better options even in the same class/type.

60-69 – this tea has such major flaws that you have to force yourself to finish what you ordered.

<60 – truly horrible teas that must be avoided at all costs.
