DaYuLing Oolong
This rare competition grade Oolong won first place at the North American Tea Championship 2012 in the Green Oolong class. Once you breathe in its luscious aroma, you will absolutely understand why. It is unlike any Oolong I have ever tasted: its gentle, yet complex and sweet. The quality of this tea is attributed to the incredibly high mountains it is grown on, above 2000m in Taiwan. This height leaves the tea trees shrouded in fog and slows the growing of the leaves.
You can only truly appreciate the beauty of the flavor by taking slow sips and massaging the liqueur around your tongue. The first taste on the tip of your tongue is vastly different from the honeyed aftertaste left behind. The sweet, creamy aftertaste, is what made me fall in love with this DaYuLing.
This tea will be appreciated by all, but should be given the appropriate time and attitude to come to life in the drinker's mind.
