Brewed in my Yixing teapot. I have the 2016 Spring batch and have actually drunk this tea multiple times since I’ve owned it but this is the first time I remembered to review.
First steep at 196˚F was more like a rinse.
Has the rich dark-roast aroma (not flavour yet) that allows it to stand up to food pairings, the typical Yancha wet-rocks note, but also a delicate peachy beautiful fruit aroma (like the Mi Lan Xiang Dan cong Oolong).
Second steep at 201˚F
Liquor is an umber colour, sort of medium yellowish-brown. The fruity fragrance has intensified, now is something like juicy apricot or nectarine.
Third steep at 206˚F
I might have used too little leaf here, the flavour has been pretty light throughout for an Wuyi oolong. Will try with more tea to water ratio next time.
