Qi ZhongChina, Wuyi Oolong Tea

The smell from the dry leaf is unusual: tannic, woody, with a walnut edge. Matte black-brown large leaf with some broken bits. Deep dark roast is the defining characteristic of this tea. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth and creamy. There are traces of brown foam on the walls of the gaiwan from the tea's oils. The wet leaf is all black with the slightest tinge of green. $3 sample produced 3 full-flavored infusions. This tea is relatively inexpensive at $24 for 4 oz.

This tea is from Red Blossom.
