From Taiwan Tea Crafts

Four Season oolong has a fresh, vivid, flowery aroma. This is a surprisingly expressive tea, very aromatic, with distinct fresh spring notes that evokes muguet and jasmine. It is very refreshing and fun to drink. Some people say it is very much like Chinese Tie Guan Yin. Most of the four season oolong tea is grown in the Songboling area of Mingjian township in Nantou, Taiwan. This area, at an elevation of between 100 to 500 m above sea level, has the largest concentration of tea growers on this island and produces the largest quantity of tea in Taiwan, many of them originating from organic farms. This particular Lot has received further attention. This time from our own Tea master who has diligently light baked this tea to deliver a rounder and sweeter body and finish while still preserving the floral aroma. If you prefer a more refreshing, green and brisk cup, you may also wish to consider the sister Lot 300 which has not received this kind of attention.

Thank you to Phillip at Taiwan Tea Crafts, for the sample!

This oolong is very smooth and creamy. It has a nice interplay of mountain forest and floral scents and flavors, and the taste is mildly creamy and sweet with just enough roast to give it a mild nutty quality, or a bit of flavor like flaky puff pastry dough.

I’m brewing this gongfu style in a small gongfu style teapot. The second infusion brings more of the flavors from the first, with a fuller body and more green forest notes. By the third infusion, I’m picking up a bit of a metallic taste in the finish and the other flavors have become a bit more muted (checked my water at this point to make sure the kettle wasn’t responsible for that flavor, and it wasn’t). After that, didn’t get a metallic taste again, just a nice, round lightly roasted oolong flavor. This is a pretty enjoyable and rather “standard” Taiwanese oolong of its type. Good stuff.

A really nice and uncomplicated tea although the floral profile was fairly simple, it was by no means boring.  A sweet body which reminds me of honey(?) and a fresh finish make this tea to a great everyday tea.
