Aged Tieguanyin 1986China, Anxi Oolong Tea

Very faint scent from the dry leaf. Maybe chamomile but with a sweet acidic edge like a desiccated sour plum. Pretty brown matte leaf, lightly twisted and medium-sized. Sweet cookie aroma from the steam. Infusion is slightly sweet and mild, even reserved. This tea brewed weak for me, sort of like traditional dim sum pot tea, and I won't buy it again.

This tea is from Red Blossom.
