Formosa Pouchong SelectTaiwan, Oolong Tea

Varisized leaf with some small bits and some larger twirls. Pretty matte emerald and brown. Lovely flowery scent with a honey note, fairly strong and pleasant. Slightly foggy lemon-green infusion. Not a lot of taste but no bitterness either, try brewing longer. Very aromatic but overall a little boring. Needed higher temperature?

Tea: Upton Tea, TT59 (discontinued)
Gaiwan: Red Blossom Tea, Jingdezhen Spring

Upton Tea description: "This superb selection is the best Pouchong tea we have offered in several years. The complex cup has pronounced fruity notes and full, rich flavor. Enjoy several steepings from this exceptional tea."
