Four Season Spring Oolong - Mountain Tea Co.
When I first received this tea in the mail I couldn’t wait to give it a try! I mean, just look at it… it’s a beautifully well-made and twisted strain of Tie Kuan Yin. The aroma of the dry leaf was slightly floral and very fresh. When I steeped the leaves they really opened up…and in the second steeping the leaves must have been as wide as my eyes…. I’d never seen leaves that large before. The liquor was a bright, vibrant colour and the taste. Oh the taste – it was mellow and smooth, soft with absolutely no negative after taste. My second infusion was even better, almost as if it gets better with every steep. The fragrance is a perfect indication of the floral and natural sweetness the tea contains. Overall I gave this tea an 85/100. It’s definitely something I enjoy and will enjoy many times in the future :)
*I would also like to mention that this great tea comes from a great company. The owner, Chicco Chou, has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and I strongly recommend that if you are looking to try some higher quality oolongs for a very reasonable price, that you try The Mountain Tea Co.
