Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Oolong
Dry Scent: Bright, zingy and very lemony with the particular dry citrus scent of lemongrass. This is lightened by the delicate floral notes from the jasmine blossoms, and the green, earthy and slightly sea-side scent of the oolong.
Steeping Time: 5-6 min
Steeped Flavour: Of course the first and strongest flavour across the tongue is the citrus; lemongrass followed by the mellower orangepeel notes. The jasmine is evident only in the scent of the vapors but the oolong leaf flavour underpins all these bright and light flavours with an earthy reen, sea-side base. This is not in any way fishy, but does remind me of salt air and fresh seaweed.
Food/Drink Pairings: This is a good wake-up tea first thing in the morning and goes well with pretty much any breakfast. It also pairs beautifully with fish dishes and light, lemony desserts.
Rating out of Six Tails:
5.5/6
