Once diligently withered and allowed to ferment only minimally, the leaves of this cultivar species take on a fresh fragrance.This tea carries in its aroma a trace of citrus, followed by a lingering flowery aftertaste.Its flavour has some bitterness, but the sweetness of an Oolong produced from green tea leaves cultivated in Japan can be almost overwhelming.
Temperature: 195° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2 minutes
The dry leaf aroma is rich, buttery, and floral.

The golden yellow infusion has rich, buttery, and floral notes in aroma and flavor with a smooth mouth feel and long finish.
The fullest flavor was in the first infusion and I had good results from lengthening the steeping time with each subsequent infusion. Both the aroma and flavor reminded me of a milk oolong.
