I went back to this with a higher leaf to water ratio. Perhaps it is that Jin Xuan is more subtle than Tie Guan Yin but my basis found this offering a bit lacking until I overleafed and oversteeped it. Of course, this is the 2017 harvest and I’m writing this in 2022. Though, I have tasted older Oolongs and they offered more flavor.

Once the leaves come out of their shell, they offer a savory vegetal note in flavor profile and smell. I’m going for one more session for a full review.

Flavors: Smooth, Sweet Corn, Vegetal

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 10 g 5 OZ / 150 ML

90-100 Stellar, to be displayed proudly if shared with guests. Or just a tea that hits its mark well.
80-90 I enjoy this tea a lot, would purchase and drink it. Fine if it lives in the pantry
70-80 Above Average, would drink it and probably still buy if the mood struck me.
50-70 Average, I would still drink it when available.
0-50 I don’t care for this tea, and have no desire to care for it.
