Commercial Description
This delicious tea is a great value. We search through all of Anxi to find a tea that captures the high floral notes and has nice body, but not too expensive. Its tiny greenish balls can be re-brewed several times.
Brewing Instructions: (from Harney and Sons)
4-5 min, 205F.

I unfortunately only had the opportunity to sample this tea once, but I was impressed. This tea lives up to its name! Aroma is strongly floral.
The mouthfeel and overall experience of drinking it is buttery, but not overwhelmingly so (this quality can get a bit overwhelming to me in some oolongs).
Complete absence of bitterness or astringency. I was served this tea only once, so I did not have much of an opportunity to experiment with brewing. However, I will say, from what I tasted of it, it seemed to offer exceptional quality for its price range.
I actually tend to prefer the edgier oolongs, with more bitterness, but I find that greener oolongs this low in astringency and bitterness can be hard to find unless you get into the astronomical price range.
