A truly nice find, 2014 Organic Winter Concubine Oolong

Mellow, mild, warming, Winter Concubine Organic Oolong, supplied by Tea Masters Blog, is a wonderful tea for an all-day drinker. One of my favorite teas to use in my 'large' Jian Shui black teapot which holds 7 ounces, that's a LOT of tea for Gungfu parameters for one person! Six grams of tea, 7 ounces of water, one long rinse and the mellow pleasure begins and keeps going for.....actually I haven't reached the end of a steep yet! This is a tea which reminds me of toast and butter. Not very floral but astoundingly fragrant, it smells lovely in the tea caddy, warming in the hot gaiwan, with the first rinse and gets stronger and more effervescent as the leaves wait in the pot for the next infusion.
