drank Lishan Oolong by Tea Ave
1758 tasting notes

Bought this recently when Tea Ave was having a sale. I generally like floral, green oolongs. This one was quite nice. It was somewhat vegetal and had notes of sweet grass to it. It was very good. I gave it eight steeps and I think it would have gone a couple more. But I figured it wasn’t puerh that can usually be pushed to twelve or fourteen steeps. I bought several more teas from Tea Ave and I hope they are all this good.

I steeped this eight times in a 110ml teapot with 7.1g leaf and 190 degree water. I gave it a 10 second rinse. I steeped it for 5 sec, 5 sec, 7 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec, and 30 sec.

Flavors: Grass, Sweet, Vegetal

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 7 g 4 OZ / 110 ML

A part of me has been tempted to retry Tea Ave especially for their Sachets, but the last time I had that particular oolong it was just grassy. Does it still have the fruity qualities that make a Li Shan good?

I too remember this tea being more vegetal than fruity. I’m a bigger fan of their scented teas though. The magnolia scented oolong is exquisite.

I am Allan. I live and work in Long Island, New York. I have been amassing a tea collection for nearly two years and have spent way too much money. I now try to buy mostly Puerh as I like it most and it lasts nearly forever. Black tea has a habit of going bad. If anyone is interested in tea swaps I am open to ideas and have quite a cupboard.
