“Sipdown 29 – 2024 Just a really great green oolong. So fresh tasting- like green beans, peas, and clarified butter.” Read full tasting note
This tea is great introduction to oolong for beginner drinkers, as well as a pleasant daily drinker for those with more experience. Made from fall material, known for having a high fragrance and a creamy scent, this tea delivers notes of orchid, as well as a pleasant, uplifting energy.
For gongfu brewing, we recommend brewing this tea with standard parameters for ball oolongs: 1ml to 18g of tea ratio, quick in-and-out pours for the first 3 infusions, then add 5-10 seconds (or to taste) per brew after that. If western brewing, then a first brew of 20 seconds in a 350-400ml vessel should be suitable, adding 10-20 seconds (or to taste) per brew after that.
Each pack contains approximately 7g.

I think this is the right listing. I have a little white Bitterleaf Teas envelope that I labeled “tieguanyin, fall picking, fall countdown 2024 #4.” It’s definitely from the most recent Tea Thoughts countdown box, but I can’t find the document with detailed info now and I did not label it clearly enough before putting it away. I could just ask Nazanin – she’s been super helpful in the past when this has happened before – but I think she’s gearing up for the holiday sales and this doesn’t seem worth wasting her time with right now. So I’m going with my best guess and a giant asterisk on this tasting note.
As for the tea itself, it’s not what I’ve come to expect from a tieguanyin! No roastiness or minerality at all. Instead, this is very creamy and buttery, green and gently floral. If I were guessing, I’d think this was a milk oolong, not a tieguanyin!
Can’t post this as an actual link, but here’s Nazanin’s write-up for this one!

Oh, well, of course it DID work as an actual link… :D
