Tea Time: China Fujian Classic Shui Xian Oolong Tea

Tonight's tea is an Oolong from Fujian, China.  It has a smokey smell and is very oxidized.



It tasted very toasted and smelled very much the same.  Lots of smoke flavor...  Almost like a smoking newspaper mixed with the hint of the perfume that composes a tie guan yin.  A touch of the bitterness of grapefruit.  Sounds like ingredients for a witches brew.  It is a very balanced tea, each component comes together very well.  Very good on a cold night.

Brewed at boiling and left to steep for about a minute.
