I picked this up in an Asian grocery store who also has a special tea section. Dry leaf has EVO and green notes to it with some roasted nutty notes. The wet leaf has a very creamy, sweetened milk aroma and some degree of florality to it. Almost like a bubble milk tea. This makes me unsure if the original Qingxin cultivar is used to produce this tea or the TRES12/Jinxuan variety because it just says Alishan high mountain tea. First brew has a dominant note of flower. The flavors are a mix in the second brew with notes of milkiness, florality and hints of green. The mouthfeel overall is smooth and creamy.
Overall a very drinkable tea. I used the Fujian/Taiwan gongfu tea method and a gaiwan to brew this tea.
