Free sample sent with my first order from WFT. This one is a fruit bomb in the dry leaf, then becomes more floral and vegetal in taste and smell of wet leaves.
Mild sweetness, no bitterness or astringency. Flavors fairly intense for a high mountain oolong. Aftertaste lingers for a while and is mostly comprised of savory saline/vegetal flavor. The sweetness is on the front/middle of the palate. Longevity is 5 infusions.
Long Feng Xia is a mountain in the Shanlin Xi area. I’m a big fan of Shanlin Xi teas, and this is no exception :).
