This Longzhu Tieguanyin is one of our favorite winter Oolongs. Winter Oolongs are plucked and processed from late October to mid-November. After the summer resting period, these Tieguanyin tea bushes, coddled by constant daily moisture from the dew in the evening, produce large, juicy, leaves which experienced hands turn into the deepest and fullest tasting teas of the year. The tea bushes will soon be ready to enter their winter dormant period, but for now they still have vigor and good energy for this last seasonal production.
The aroma of this tea is reminiscent of the crisp steeliness of minerals, due to the soil in which the tea is grown. It harmonizes well with the bright floral taste, adding complexity and verve to the flavor, and has a subtle hint of herbaceous notes with a long lingering finish. A superb tea you will find hard to forget.
