This baked Shanlinxi High Mountain Oolong Lot 386 tastes like a hybrid between an Taiwanese oolong and a Wuyi Baijiguan oolong. Very nutty in a fusion between hazelnuts, almond plus a fine hint of pine nuts. There is also a slightly astringency something metallic to it. The scent covers a thick honey-ish layer which directly leads to the woodsy undertones and a delicious flair of freshly baked steaming wholemeal bread taste. But this isn’t the whole show. A very balsamic note directly explodes on your tasting buds and fires up directly through your nose – cooling and tingling. But you can also experience this minty flair very distinct in your throat like if you were chewing a cough candy. Later onward much more nutty tones but now more like hazelnut cream are the center of this well composed symphony sharing the space with a subtle note of banana and warm waffles. This was a very tasteful, rich and long lasting fellow with a very warming and cozy feeling to it.
This is You :-D

Bio
Ahoi,
I am a tea taster and tea-blog author from Vienna. Since my early Childhood days I was always drawn to East Asian culture especially China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It wasn’t a thing I discovered because of my parents or my environment – it was a thing that started on its own and spread its antennas into nearly every direction what Asian culture could deliver.
I felt in love with their history, movies, Tv-Shows, food, Anime, Videogames, tea culture – nearly everything. 2009 was the first time I visited Japan – it was a feeling of finally being home. Since that time I developed such a passion for tea because tea combines so many aspects I love. Taking photos, writing, Asian culture, the connection to mother nature and its history, the love for craftsmanship (Teaware etc).
Within 2013 I started my teablog called ZeroZen(https://zeroteazen.wordpress.com/) – the first couple of years I only posted content in my mother language German. But within 2016 I discovered Instagram for myself and found the perfect medium for my artistic output which is now completely and exclusive in English ^___~
