2025 Hong Shui Oolong Tea Premium, USDA Organic
The aroma of the rinsed tea gives rise to a simple and steady chain of associations: ripe fruits, chocolate, and milk.
The taste repeats the aroma but adds an easily discernible nutty melody.
The picture is nearly finished; however, the aftertaste contributes with unexpected floral and vanilla notes. These delights will be a reward for attentive and experienced tea drinkers.

works well in western style brewing (regular way of making tea in the west, in a cup)
a very nice darker Oolong that is comforting and tasty
This a very good example of what I call “temperamental tea” changing its profile and showing different faces from brewing to brewing.
At the beginning it shows aromas of dry citric peels, floral notes like honeysuckle and vegetable notes. Later, as soon as leaves open up, it shows its seductive side changing to more exotic woody aromas with candied fruits notes like a Christmas cake and a background of tobacco and vanilla. Later as soon as temperature gets down it smells of grape skins and of yeast, making me remind of “mostaccioli” a traditional Italian sweet bread made with grape must during the harvesting season.
For this, I gave it the nickname of “vinacce” (grape skins).
Even if the mouth is very well balanced, in my opinion, the nose is the great talent of this tea.
You can steep so many times and it is still there, standing up and surprising you!
