Tasting notes

Apricot, peach, and other tropical notes come through from the second steeping on. The natural aromatics known to be a signature of good Taiwanese Oolongs through in it's fragrance. The first steep comes with fragrant pear and honeyed beeswax undertones. This gives way to defined sweetness, and apricot fruitiness, and balanced body in later steepings. This tea is defined by balanced and freshness.

Preparation

Use 7g tea per 180ml water at 92°C. Mix 1st and 2nd steeps of 2:00 each. Add 1 minute of time for each additional steep, up to a total of 5.
