Official what Oolong are You Drinking Right Now?

[oak]

Have brought to me tea of China, and I do not know if it is a tea oolong or green tea and not how it calls. Its hot smell resembles the mature pu erh and its also smell of fresh leaves but lightly withered remembers to the forests. His leaves are all small buds.

I leave photos you for if someone can help me to say what class of tea is. Thank you.

If I'm reading it correctly, the package says it's a Bi Luo Chun from Jiangsu province, which is a green tea. I think the package also says that it's healthy (or more literally, "drink tea, walk the healthy street").

The leaves do not quite look like an oolong, more like a green. Also as the leaves are rolled into "pellets" it almost looks like an attempt at a Gunpowder green tea.

Very nice, thank you very much.

Norbu's White Oolong, sweet spicy seductive stuff.

I really don't know - one of my Tea Canisters has become divorced from it's identifying label

It is very frustrating, when that happens. Rack my brains, search my notes - to no avail.

It is well roasted and oxidised and pleasant drinking.

It might be a DHP but I suspect it is a Shui Xian.

Jinxuan - outstanding combination of modern cultivation of oolong tea the traditional character. This tea, formed from relatively recently - in fact since 1981, and in a short time gained many admirers around the world, mainly as an excellent, balanced taste and exceptional quality.

The taste is smooth, sweet and refreshing.

The aroma is slightly buttery, also known as milk. However, it is so well integrated into the whole that it stands out above the silk, smooth taste.

The infusion is characterized by beautiful, intense yellow-aquamarine color.

2011 handmade Dong Ding from EoT. Medium ox/charcoal roast. An outstanding Taiwanese oolong.

Bei Dou Yi Hao from the Chinaman's shop in 5 Elements, Jalan Sultan, Kuala Lumpur,

Really delightful fragrance and earthy, roasty mineral notes.
But even with a slightly more than half full Yixing, I only get 5 good infusions.

Aroma and Fragrance exceeds the other BDYH I have from 4 different sources, including Essence Of Tea, but body, texture and longevity of brewing are disappointing.

When I know what I am getting ( I should do by now - it is my 5th or 6th session with this tea) I should find it exquisite. But dipping and diving between my various BDYH supplies, I tend to forget that this is much more delicate than the others, and usually end up a little deflated.


Lessons that are learned should be remembered for if I am in the right mood this is a great tea, but when I am looking for a warming, comforting, lengthy session I should select one of the others.

Xin Ren Dancong tea from Hojo. This is great tea!

2011 Spring AAAA Tie Guan Yin from JK Tea -

Leaning much more herbal with a touch of florals. Reminds me of Jing's Autumn Gan De TGY. Good stuff.

I am drinking a cup of ti kuan yin at the moment.

Just finished a session using a new Guinomi from Cory. A carved out double wall delightful cup.

To christen it I broached a gem from Nada, Essence Of Tea - Handmade Bai Ji Guan. A great experience

Did a review on Nada's site - but it is awaiting moderation so I am unable to copy and paste, and too relaxed to go through recalling it all here!
