Dry Leaf Aroma:  milky and buttery, with a hint of floral

Brewing Aroma:  more floral

Flavor:  Solid.  It's not my fave oolong, but I really have no complaints.  The flavor is mild, as is the astringency.  It has a dry finish, but nothing crazy.  I would definitely drink this one again!</description></item><item><title>Review of Tsuei Luan by SarsyPie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/3510/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/3510/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/7353.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:26:36 EST</pubDate><description>Method:  1.5 tsp, 182 degrees, grandpa style

Dry Leaf Aroma:  lightly floral with a hint of seaweed

Brewing Aroma:  The seaweed is gone, and there's a very quiet floral scent.  I can also detect what smells like a buttered spinach.

Flavor:  This tea has a very pleasant mouthfeel, soft and buttery, with minimal astringency.  The buttery spinach comes through in the flavor, also.  There are some indeterminate florals, but none of the fruits from the description.  The tea doesn't taste bitter, but I ...</description></item><item><title>Review of Zhu Shan Jin Xuan by SarsyPie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/3495/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/3495/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/7348.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:42:50 EST</pubDate><description>Method:  1.5 tsp, 205 degrees, 3 minutes

Dry Leaf Aroma:  powdered milk, popcorn topping, butter.  Back in the day, my parents used to buy this powdered faux butter popcorn topping.  You would pop your corn and sprinkle it on.  That's what these tea leaves smell like!

Brewing Aroma:  Milky and sweet, with a hint of floral

Flavor:  This isn't as creamy as I expected, and the texture is thinner than I thought, but it's still quite good.  I'm not sure that milky oolongs are my thing, but I like tryin...</description></item><item><title>Review of Long Feng Xia by SarsyPie</title><link>http://ratetea.com/review/3493/</link><guid>http://ratetea.com/review/3493/</guid><media:thumbnail url="http://ratetea.com/images/tea/7346.jpg" height="128" width="128" /><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:02:01 EST</pubDate><description>Method: 1 heaping tsp, 182 degrees, grandpa style

Dry Leaf Aroma: Floral and Fruity. Sweet. Smelled a little like baking cookies.

Brewing Aroma: Vanilla and lightly citrus

Flavor: This had a very thick and buttery feel. It reminded me of a very light vegetable broth. This was a very hearty tea! I think it would be especially well-suited to cooler weather drinking.

Dry Leaf Aroma: Floral and sweet, like honey

Brewing Aroma: Green and vegetal

Flavor: This has a lightly buttery taste, and a very slight bitterness. I can taste some of the floral from the aroma, and this also has a nutty finish in the first cup. The second cup was fascinating and had a light vegetable flavor. Then there were some fruity hints in the third cup, like grape. This tea was a chameleon!

Once brewing begins, I can smell the creamy aroma, and definite hints of jasmine.

The flavor is sweet, but a little too faint at first. I try longer steepings, and I can detect a very light buttery flavor. I was hoping for more milky flavor in the brewed tea, but it wasn’t there for me. I did enjoy the creamy texture!

The tea has a lovely flavor and has a creamy feel, but I didn’t get the milky flavor I was hoping for. To be fair, I did eat recently, so I am going to brew this again and see what I come up with. I liked this tea, but I am hoping a second try will give me the chance to pick out more aromas and flavors.</description></item></channel>
