1. View
The dry leaves are dark green/blue and of varied sizes. The brew has great clarity and transparency with a very fresh yellow/green color. The open leaves are very big. They are thick, but flexible.
2. Scents
The dry leaves smell like fine, fresh spring flowers. In the brew, there are some peach notes, but these are less dominant than very fine and evanescent fresh fragrances.
3. Taste
The energy, the Cha Qi of this Oolong is amazing! It has a very long aftertaste that is further accentuated by a powerful mineral taste.
Conclusion: This is the freshest and most energetic high mountain Oolong in Taiwan and in the world. An absolute champion. It's in very limited supply.
