Gui Fei oolong is a remarkably distinctive and unique Taiwanese tea in both flavour and stories to tell about! For the stories, read the Background Information found below, for some tasting references we could easily sum it up by honey, honey, and more honey! Wild honey that is, with it’s mineral and pastoral complexity of wild flower sweetness with roasted nuts and woodsy overtones. Honey in the colour, Honey in the texture. Honey in the soothing, sweet comforting taste! This new Lot 262 has undergone a 3 stage baking process by our in-house Tea Master with air-tight mellowing breaks of several weeks in between. This allows the flavours and aromas to stabilize and fully permeate the leaves. For those of you who liked our Lot 160, this one is one good notch above! This is a wonderful tea for chilly winter afternoons or evenings. – See more at: http://www.taiwanteacrafts.com/product/baguashan-gui-fei-oolong-tea/#sthash.1yTa29X6.dpuf

Taiwan Tea CraftsLet’s go, I continue to explore the wonderful teas of my Taiwan Tea Crafts ’s order . I ’m really not disappointed . The appearance of this Oolong is very rocky , the leaves look like small green stones as they are rolled so tight.
They do impress me these leaves !
And even wet , they unfold but not completely … as if they had terrible secrets to keep …
The liquor offers me the classic honey but especially very mineral notes . Mineral notes are dominating in my opinion. Cereals are also there as nuts … walnuts, almonds. A delicious tea, perfect for sippingin the morning as in the middle of the afternoon.
This is a very lovely and unexpected (physically) tea, you can see pics here : http://thevangeliste.wordpress.com/2014/11/08/baguashan-gui-fei-oolong-tea-lot-262-taiwan-tea-crafts/
Flavors: Honey, Mineral, Nuts, Oats, Walnut
I finally used my Lin’s ceramic teapot today. I do not know why I have been avoiding it. It made an excellent brew. The honey, roasted bark, and caramel apple notes of this tea really shined. As a rolled oolong and one of my favorite teas, this tea truly deserves to be prepared in a ceramic pot.
There is just something about this Gui Fei that really hits the spot every single time. The only caveat is that it has to be perfectly prepared and piping hot. If it’s not… the brew doesn’t live up to its amazing potential at all and kind of makes me sad… First world problems…
As a complete aside: This note marks the first non-backlog note I have written in over two months. Yesterday, I finally finished logging every single tea that I have had since early May. I had kept the list teas in a file and by yesterday it was about 130 teas. Yikes. If anyone is interested, you can see them all in my – finally updated – tealog.
