Kawaii433 drank Nonpareil Wudong Song Zhong Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea by Teavivre

351 tasting notes

Liked this one a lot better than the Nonpareil Wudong Ya Shi. Roasted aroma, quite perfumey. Mellow & smooth, fruity, honey-like. Complex, changing with infusions. Full-bodied, thick, slightly tart, sharp at times. Woodsy. On 9th infusion right now. Long finish, the taste stays in my mouth for a long time. Sweet aftertaste. Like the Ya Shi, it’s expensive $27.90/50g but plenty of infusions. Lots of taste on this 9th infusion. I’ll update if anything significant comes up or I figure something else I taste lol.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
