2-3g in an 80ml gaiwan, 30s steeps with about 80C water.
The wet leaves have a scent I’ve not had from any tea before – a gorgeous perfume of light, fresh spring flowers; it’s very different from the strong, insistent floral aromas of high mountain oolongs, and it’s not like the fruity grape-melon scent I remember from Chinese silver needles – it’s much lighter and more delicate; an almost powdery scent that has a ‘barely there’ quality but a strong presence.
The liquor has the taste of the aroma: delicately floral, with a hint of sweetness, and the mouthfeel has a nice thickness and silky ‘coating’ effect.
Flavors: Floral, Sweet
