鐵觀音烏龍茶

Brewing this for the first time today, the floral notes unfurled beautifully over multiple steeps, with the complex oolong character from Fujian really showing off. It’s smooth enough to sip without any sweetener, which I honestly didn’t expect from a green oolong.

The orchid aroma really comes through in the steam as it steeps — I didn’t expect such a floral, complex flavor from a green oolong. It’s become my go-to afternoon tea.

I brewed this according to the instructions and the complex flavors really unfolded with each steeping. The orchid-like aroma is delicate but present, and the tea itself is surprisingly smooth with no bitterness.
