hsinchu oriental beauty
by adagio teas
(4 reviews)
Beautiful leaves of white, green, yellow, red and brown make up this top grade Formosa Oriental Beauty oolong from Hsinchu County, in northwestern Taiwan. Highly oxidized, yet super smooth, the layered cup offers much to delight. Summer fruits like peach and nectarine, with a soft sweetness of honey and dwell in these leaves. Our Hsinchu Oriental Beauty bears a clean mouthfeel that gently reveals each nuance like an unfolding blossom, and a slight mineral finish. Steep at 212°F for 3 minutes

This is a good, smooth oolong that is on the more oxidized side. I think I didn't brew it quite hot enough for it to really shine and it came out a little more dry than the first time I had it, but it was good. Don't be afraid to play around with the steep time and temperature a little. Makes a big difference.

Delicious darker oolong. Some fruit flavors and aroma. Lots of spice to finish. Very unique and extra smooth cup.

What can I say? I am in love with this tea. Very pricey, but we'll worth it. Can only afford a few times a year, or when I have points accumulated, but I will treasure it each time.
