Semi-aged Fuding White from 50 year-old tea bushes picked in 2018. Cherry jam, marzipan, butter biscuits and sweet tarragon.
Company description not available.
This tea really gave me an appreciation for larger leaf White Tea. While the tasting notes aren’t as punchy, they have a persistence that goes on. Notes of oxidized Banana (for baking), Apple Peel, and a rustic vegetal quality.
I mainly brew this western style at around 204 to 210F for 3 to 5 minutes, as the larger leaves need to be pushed a bit. The body sensation was a lovely calm, warm feeling.
I will note for the record that it gave me an odd itchy feeling in my throat, but it didn’t detract from the experience much.
It’s not the best White Tea I’ve ever had, but it’s certainly not the worst. It wasn’t really made to be a top shelf White Tea to begin with, as that’s reserved for their Jade Star series. A great Tea to wind down with in the evening.
Flavors: Apple Skins, Banana, Hay
