Milk & Honey Oolong 2024 Spring
Organically grown (although not certified), milky and sweet, and the price is really reasonable... I've been looking for a tea like this for years! It is grown at decently high elevations between Dong Ding and Shan Lin Xi from the Jin Xuan (milk oolong) cultivar, and very lightly touched up by our charcoal roasting teacher to enhance the clarity and bring out the personality of the tea.
**Note : This is not a bug bitten tea like Oriental Beauty or Gui Fei. The honey note is on the floral side of honey, not like those juicy bug bitten teas.**
DESCRIPTION
Rich with a milky sweet aroma and floral tones that develop into a backend honey sweetness in the aftertaste. This is the milk oolong of my dreams. When I drink it I can really see how this cultivar got its reputation. Completely natural, no flavorings. The tea is also very clean. No agrochemicals were used during the growing process. The broth is clean, clear and viscous, softly coating the mouth and throat. Feels light and settling in the body, very gently warm when its cold out but also cooling on a hot summer day.
A delightful and pretty oolong that I could seriously drink all day long.
