From West China Tea Company

Apricot Kernel (杏仁香, Xìng Rén Xiāng, “Apricot Kernel Fragrance”) is one of the ten original lineages of Phoenix Oolong, from which the hundreds of varieties of Oolong trees now living in the Phoenix Mountains descend. In Chinese, the term Xìng Rén 杏仁 refers to both the seed of the apricot, as well the closely related almond. In the West, the seeds of apricots and other stone fruits are often referred to as “bitter almonds” in a culinary context.Read more

Gongfu!

Started my morning with a session of this deliciously warm and toasty oolong!! I wasn’t sure what to expect from this tea but it was so pleasantly light and nutty! Notes of softly roasted almonds and toasted grains, with a medium body and light astringency. As the session progressed more floral undertones started to emerge, which added so much more dimension to the sweetness of the nutty notes! Magnolia and other Springtime flowers. I think it caught me off guard how nuanced and delicate the whole session was despite having elements of roast/minerality, but it was exactly what I needed in the moment.
