TTN: Formosa Superior Top Fancy Oolong
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 5:16 pm
From Taiwan. Brewed at c.85 C for 2-3 mins. The nose is very floral with a nice hint of cinnamon. The palate is a little tannic, fruity (if this word is ever used with teas, LOL!!), smooth (as oolongs in my small experience tend to be) rather than astringent - I actually generally prefer astringent teas to smooth ones. The first Oolong that I truly have liked. But I still think I'll stick to other types of tea.
