Song ZhongChina, Phoenix Oolong Tea

Astringent and powdery scent from the dry leaf. Mostly black moderately large lightly twisted slender leaf with some reddish-brown streaks. Incredible aroma from the first steam! Intensely aromatic wet leaf: orchid, herbs, citrus. Full-bodied flavor with some astringency coming across as minty. Lovely pink hue to the infusion. $6 sample is photographed here and 2 oz cost $54. Beautiful and pricy.

This tea is from Red Blossom.
