God, I must look the fool. I've got my nose so deep into this little
Lin's 'aroma cup' if my schnoz were any bigger the damn thing would get stuck. This tea is so goddamned delicious, it is, in fact the best example of a Vietnamese Oolong I've had so far in my tea journey.
Four grams of the tightly rolled, dark little nuggets into my Lin's pot with very quick steeps, water temp approx 206f. I could tell from the scent coming off the still dry tea, while sitting in the pre-heated pot that I was in for a treat. And of course sometimes the scent of the leaves doesn't quite tell the truth of the taste of the tea. Often one is awed by the scent, and less than wowed by the taste. Not so in this case. MAN. Eight steeps so far! Very full bodied soup, very rich in color, and the aroma continues to fill the room. Or maybe it's just because I still am huffing the empty aroma cup like a dumbass with a pot of glue but in my case, I AM actually getting something out of it. Happiness.
