- Heat water to roughly 85C/185°F

NOTE – this is not the Feng Huang tea, but the 2016 Taiwan Gui Fei. See the comments below.

This is great, the almost-sweet citrus prickliness on the tongue resolving into a thick smoky chocolate – it’s got more body than the greener leaf-bitten oolongs I’ve tasted. The leaf/water ratio is approximate and I know it seems small, but it works.

The liquor is a light red-brown with a touch of orange, and the leaves steep up a smart, very dark green with some brown.

NB I’m 99% sure this is the right tea. Mine doesn’t say Feng Huang anywhere, but it is What-Cha’s Taiwan Gui Fei Oolong, and it looks exactly like the picture.

Maybe the wording is a mistake on steepster, unless Feng Huang also means something in Taiwanese. It would be a bit weird though, as this defo isnt ‘Feng Huang’ Oolong

Ive got this one to try in my box :)

This Steepster listing is for a different Gui Fei I used to have, the 2016 Gui Fei is from a different source.

Happy you liked this one :)

Ah, thanks. I’ve edited the note to make it absolutely clear. It can be quite tricky trying to navigate Steepster’s labyrinthine tea database ;)
