“Special thanks to Liberteas for this one! This is a lovely-florally-sweet! Honeysuckle-reminiscent! It’s creamy, too, almost…like milk! This is quite special!” Read full tasting note
This lightly fermented oolong has delicate floral fragrance that seeps from the cup. Some liken it to a sweet corn aroma while others describe it as they would honeysuckle or jasmine. Coupled with a rich buttery taste that only the best tea leaf can offer, this could be the oolong tea style for the next millenium.

Inspired by SimplyJenW, I am attempting my own Sample Reduction Plan because I really need to reduce the size of my stash. I have a whole drawer of pretty much nothing but samples, and it’s kind of out of control. So I am happy to be able to throw away the pouch that once contained my sample of this tea. I suppose I should have waited until I got my gongfu setup up and running, since that was my plan with most of the reminiants of the oolong samples in my stash, but I didn’t think of that until just now. Oh well!
Nevertheless, this tea still impresses me. It’s a Jin Xuan, meaning it’s an unflavored “milk” oolong, and you can definitely see the resemblance here. Jin Xuans can be pretty hit-or-miss for me, but this one is a hit since it’s light, floral and almost fruity, and then also has richer, buttery, honey-ish notes to it. Very lovely.
When I “liked” this, there were zero likes. KS-you beat me to it! HAHA…
Woo Hoo! I win!
I think I’ll join you. I’ve got a fair few myself, and some of them are getting embarrasingly old.
I think there is a spring cleaning fever hitting Steepster!
