Oooh, first jasmine oolong! Thanks, Kawaii 433 :)
Brewed western for 3 steeps. Same base tea as the Rose Oolong I had a few days ago. Plenty of jasmine and I love the way it blends with the Jin Xuan milky taste. Dominant jasmine and green grass aroma carries through into the mouth with other flavors of cucumber, lettuce, scalded milk, a hint of toasted rice, butter on the swallow. An immediate butter and jasmine aftertaste fades into tart apricot-osmanthus. Oily, medium-bodied, lightly mouthwatering with minerals. Sugarcane returning sweetness. The spent leaf smells like seaweed.
I like the creaminess that the Jin Xuan brings to jasmine. Less heady than most jasmine greens I’ve had.
Flavors: Apricot, Butter, Cucumber, Grass, Jasmine, Lettuce, Milk, Mineral, Osmanthus, Seaweed, Sugarcane, Toasted Rice
I’m drinking this one now too, also from Kawaii433. :D
