First tasting today is Jin Guayin from Verdant tea. The first thing that struck me both in scent and taste is butter, its also quite smooth and easy to drink with a nice thick mouth feel. There is just the bare hint of vegatal in it as well, as well as a floral scent, that I cant quite pin down.
I really like this tea, and I made a bit of an oops in the third steeping I oversteeped it because my eggs were burning. This didnt actually change the flavor profile at all, Im guessing because oolong teas are pretty forgiving for steeping. I know they are often used in grandpa style brewing because of that. The primary flavors are still floral, butter and sweet.
There are other scents and flavors in this , but I think Im going to need to wait for a second tasting for that. And I really need a yixing teapot… lol.
Flavors: Butter, Floral, Sweet
