“The dry leaf weirdly has miso as the dominant aroma with soy sauce, cloves, nuts and camphor wood as background aroma. The wet leaf has a honey with cardamom note to it and unripened bananas too....” Read full tasting note

Description

Description from Moychay.nl website:
“Gaba Oolong” (handpicked) is made in the Alishan natural reserve (central Taiwan). During the manufacturing process, tea leaves passed through multistage vacuum fermentation.

Dry leaf: small, spherically twisted pellets of brown color. The aroma is warm, intensive, fruity-biscuit. The liquor is transparent, golden almond color.

The bouquet of brewed tea is bright and warm, fruity-biscuit, with herbal, caramel and berry nuances. The aroma is sweet, warm and deep. The taste is full-bodied and smooth, sweetish with delicate berry sourness, transforming into refreshing finish.

Brew tea with hot boiling water (90-95°C) in a porcelain gaiwan or a teapot of porous clay. The proportion is 5 g per 100 ml. The first infusion should last for 15-20 seconds. After that do short steeps (just for 8-10 seconds), increasing steeping time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can repeat this method up to 9 times.

Excellent ceremonial tea – delicious, smooth and long. Relieves fatigue and nervous tension, relaxes the body and refreshes the perception.
