Fairy New StyleChina, Oolong Tea

Beautiful large leaf. Gaiwan fit just 1 gram. Lovely orchid aroma. Mild-flavored infusion. Light lemon, more yellow than green. Several infusions with good color. Overall impression is of a novelty tea with lovely appearance and aroma but mild flavor.
Tea: Upton Tea, ZOP1 (discontinued)
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Summer

Upton Tea description: "A 2014 special production Pre-Chingming Oolong from Hunan province. The striking, dark olive leaf is quite large and fully intact. Intense orchid/lilac notes are pronounced in both the aroma and the very smooth, buttery flavor. Subtle nuances of sweet tobacco and vegetal hints round out the flavor."
