Company description not available.
It is a fine and tasty tea. The smell is full, very unique. I like the taste because it is not bitter, It is full of flavours, with an aftertaste of chestnut, dry fruit and fresh green tea that entices to drink it.
I have infused it 3 times with the gong fu cha method.
1°) 85° – 1min
2°) 83° – 1min
3°) 83° – 1.30min
In each infusion there was a good taste of fresh and delicate tea. In the last infusion there was a little presence of bitter taste, but it was not strong so i enjoyed it.
Personally I like this tea very much, it is one of my favorites teas with Yin Zhen and Taiping Houkui.
Another time Thank you Nannuoshan!
Flavors: Chestnut, Fruity, Grass, Tea, Wood
This is another sample sent to me from Nannoshan. Thank you!
The first thing I noticed was how incredibly well sealed the Nannoshan sample packages are. I had to pull out my heavy duty scissors to cut through the packaging. Once I did get the sample open I could smell a nutty/vegetal scent from the leaves. I also noticed that the dry leaves were long and a beautiful bright green.
Once steeped the flavor was not as strong as I was expecting given the smell of the dry leaves. Instead there was a soft nutty flavor and a light sweetness. There was also a bit of a mineral note at the finish. The tea tasted clean and very fresh. Even though the flavor was soft it had a brightness to it as well that I really like in high quality Long Jing.
I kept wanting to say there’s a floral note in this tea, but there’s not. The natural sweetness of the tea along with the over all softness of the cup gives the impression of something floral-like. Overall, a very nice cup.
