Captain’s Backlog 3 May 2025
Spring 2023 harvest
Made a better bowl tea than gongfu. Dong Dingy but not nutty, thankfully. Mid-toned mellow sweet roast, rich florals settled yet heady, bamboo shoot in a bed of squeaky young grass. Very clean. Would try again. It looks to be machine-harvested; not the prettiest unfurled leaf.

I think I finally have the word to describe that mix of fruity and tangy present in unroasted GABA oolong — mangosteen — a combination of wild strawberry, lychee, pineapple, peach and vanilla sugar. GABA teas’ typical squashiness is there, delicate like a squash blossom rather than lightly meaty like the flesh. GABA processing generally produces a tea with great longevity and this leaf is no exception. Excellent GABA tea. Very clean with a lingering aftertaste.
