63 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5Alex Zorach (1453 reviews) on Jun. 24th, 2010
I made two infusions of this tea. I found, using longer brewings, it's only really good for two and then most of the flavor is gone. I used 3 min. and 6 min.
For the first infusion, the aroma is floral and orchid-like, like many of the greener Anxi oolongs, but there's a depth and warmth to it that I've found is absent from many of the other Se Chungs. This does resemble a greener Tie Guan Yin fairly closely. Interesting, in addition to the rich floral aroma, there is also a hint of roast in the finish.
Second, six-minute infusion was surprisingly dark and full-bodied, but less floral. Deeper aroma, with a hint of soapy and vegetal qualities. I enjoyed the aroma of this cup less, but the overall qualities more.
Inexpensive, but I'd rather either spend more and buy Tie Guan Yin, or buy other Se Chung oolongs.
