It has a very warm flavour, it's nice and sweet too. It's good for lots of steepings and has a bright yellowish green colour. I'm sometimes afraid I won't be able to distinguish new light oolongs I buy from others that I already have, but this one is distinct. It's clearly milky which sets it apart from more fresh and "bright" ones and it's softer than Tieguanyin. (However, when I used too much leaf, it did get that sharp metallic tang tha...http://ratetea.com/review/5853/http://ratetea.com/review/5853/Sat, 24 Nov 2018 13:35:19 ESTThe first time I made this tea, I didn't get much flavour out of it, so this time I used more leaves than I usually do for green tea - at least, I tried to. The leaves are large and twisted into irregular shapes, so it's not very dense. I think I could have used even more. The liquor is rather light but it's a really lovely jewel green, it reminds me of high-quality light oolongs. The main impression I have is that it reminds me of longjing, but there's something else too that I have a hard time graspi...http://ratetea.com/review/5187/http://ratetea.com/review/5187/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 14:01:21 ESTI took the dégustation comparée (comparative tasting) of three green teas of a higher quality. This is one of the three I was served. I got a zhong with dry leaves in it, a small cup, and a thermos of water. I was recommended to finish with this tea, so I tasted this one last. The leaves are very dark green and look fine and powdery. First steeping (15 sec.): Strong vegetal aroma, but the flavour is very different from any tea I've had before. It tastes savoury. Second steeping (20 sec.): Lovely l...http://ratetea.com/review/5186/http://ratetea.com/review/5186/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 13:35:55 ESTI took the dégustation comparée (comparative tasting) of three green teas of a higher quality. This is one of the three I was served. I got a zhong with dry leaves in it, a small cup, and a thermos of water. This tea has an intense sweet, vegetal, almost savoury aroma that immediately struck me. It has a much stronger, more noticeable aroma than most green teas. The liqueur is bright green. First steeping: Possibly umami? It reminds me of something (maybe a vegetable) but I don't know what. Secon...http://ratetea.com/review/5185/http://ratetea.com/review/5185/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 13:02:04 ESTI took the dégustation comparée (comparative tasting) of three green teas of a higher quality. This is one of the three I was served. I got a zhong with dry leaves in it, a small cup, and a thermos of water. It has beautiful bright green leaves and liqueur, and a bright and sweetish aroma. First steeping: Vegetal flavour (but slightly bitter because I oversteeped it). Second steeping: Much more intense, brightly vegetal. Third steeping: Hardly any colour or aroma left. The bright flavour remained....http://ratetea.com/review/5184/http://ratetea.com/review/5184/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:52:03 ESTI drank this tea in the Unami Maison de Thé in Lille. It was served prepared in a small teapot. This means it was made exactly as it should, though I didn't get to see any leaves. My first impression was an intensely nutty and earthy aroma. The flavour is nutty too, but not as strong as expensive. It reminds me of autumn leaves somehow. It's not astringent but ever so slightly bitter, and leaves the mouth dry. The last cup from the bottom of the teapot is a warm brownish orange. It's expensive to dri...http://ratetea.com/review/5183/http://ratetea.com/review/5183/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:39:31 ESTI drank this tea in the Unami Maison de Thé in Lille. It was served prepared in a small teapot. This means it was made exactly as it should, though I didn't get to see any leaves. This was my first time trying a Tie Guan Yin, so I chose the one that best fit my budget. The liqueur is yellow. It has a nutty and woody, slightly bitter aroma. The flavour is also nutty and woody with a hint of green tea grassiness. It has a little astringency in a way I find a bit unpleasant. It feels thick and soft and l...http://ratetea.com/review/5182/http://ratetea.com/review/5182/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:30:31 ESTI drank this tea in the Unami Maison de Thé in Lille. It was served prepared in a small teapot. This means it was made exactly as it should, though I didn't get to see any leaves. I don't have any prior experience with senchas, so I can't compare this with others. I have tasted a few other Vietnamese green teas, and this is a lot like them (e.g. Yen Bai Groen from Simon Lévelt): fruity with sweet notes and a strong background that I'm not sure how to describe. Maybe grassy. It's not as sweet as Simon ...http://ratetea.com/review/5181/http://ratetea.com/review/5181/Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:14:15 ESTI drank this tea in the Unami Maison de Thé in Lille. It was served prepared in a small teapot. This means it was made exactly as it should, though I didn't get to see any leaves. It tasted fresh, not sweet, and very grassy, with a rich flavour. The tea in the bottom of the pot is always stronger so I got three progressively stronger ups. It's a good tea with a vegetal aroma, though it's pretty expensive.
