Shanlin Xi Honey Scent Oolong

Dry leaves are light brown, with a distinct honey and brown sugar aroma. If you allow the leaves to steam in a heated teapot or gaiwan, you will notice the leaves emit a lovely osmanthus and logan flower aroma.

Drinking the first round of brewing, you’ll taste a delightful mix of honey and longan fruit.  There is also a subtle aromatic hint of osmanthus flowers in full bloom. The second round is sweet and floral, with added notes of baker’s spice and sandalwood.  The honey sweetness grows in intensity during the finish. The third round sees a slight shift away from the honey note, towards a more longan-forward flavor.
