This month we will be tasting...
🍂 Red Jade White Tea
This mildly oxidized white tea is made from the Hong Yu #18 cultivar. While this batch is from this year it acts much more mature than it's age would suggest. The first notes are strawberries on the high end and dates on the low end and is somehow both fresh and warming at the same time.
🍂 Imperial Gold Needle
This is a spring harvested red tea from Simoa in Ning'Er county. This area is known for its pu'er production but also for it's rich honey red teas. This is a sibling of the infamous Silver Needle, being made completely of the robust, hairy buds. Fully oxidized this tea takes on malty notes that lean heavily towards caramel and chocolate, with light citrus notes at the top. It has quickly become a house favorite.
🍂 Nuò Mǐ Xiāng Shu Bì,
or sticky rice shu pu'er, is a ripe pu'er that has been scented with Nuò Mǐ Xiāng, an aromatic herb that smells remarkably like a fresh pot of cooked rice. It has warming and savory notes perfectly overlapping the characteristic Nannuo pu'er flavor. This tea has been pressed into coin shapes, making it ideal for single gongfu sessions.
🍂 WCT Jin Xuan milk oolong
One of our favorite kinds of tea around here is milk oolong. Lately we've had a GABA version and an actual milk steamed version, which tend to be very buttery and nutty. This one comes to us from the West China Tea Company and is much more floral and sweet while still expressing some butter notes. It's probably my favorite version of this tea.
see you soon~ 🍵
