From the website, "Seven years from seed to cup, this exquisite, lightly-oxidized oolong is grown in Western China using the famous Green Heart cultivar from Taiwan. Notes of lilac, condensed milk and pineapple give you a rare taste of modern Chinese teamaking at its finest.
Origin: Xinghua, Baoshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Elevation: 2200 Meters
Variety: Qingxin
Garden: Mingguang Garden
TASTING NOTES: Lilac, condensed milk, pineapple
INGREDIENTS: Full leaf oolong from Yunnan Province"
When I make tea in the french press, I put the tea above the press so that I can lift the press when the tea is done steeping, that way I don't over steep it. Or I put the loose leaf tea a tea bag to steep.
This is an oolong tea so, you don't want your water to boil. I set my kettle to 185 degrees and I steep for 3-4 minutes.
This is a great tea, it has nice light floral notes. There is a
fruitiness as well. I not say I taste lilac, but it has floral notes. I would not say I taste pineapple, but I get a light fruit. They also say condensed milk and I did not get that at all. I do struggle with the tasting notes, so I am not surprised that I am not getting all that they are saying, but to be 0-3 does surprise me.
Regardless, of what they say the tasting notes are I like this tea a lot. It is light and bright.
I am super glad I went for this unique tea. I gave it 4 tea cups. I love oolong and I do get the oolong flavors that I love.
