Ailao Shan Dongfang Meiren

Reference:

. .

Known as Oriental Beauty white tip oolong , this tea doesn't need any long introduction to justify it's fairly high price. This one comes from the Ailao Mountain tea plantations , where the bug involved in the whole unique process of the this tea, is very scarce. So only small amounts are made every year. Very fruity ( peach ) and flowery tea liquor which surprisingly can steep many times.

Best oolong

This is the best oolong I have tasted yet, and by now I have tasted a few. I had believed it would be just über-smooth, and that was it aside from a little peach or flowers as in the description.

But instead, it DOES have a fair creaminess, but on top of that a considerable freshness. You know, I never thought I would appreciate the blackcurrant type of taste in high quality teas all that much. Don't misunderstand, for I like blackcurrant for its uses, but I just never thought that kind of taste elevated a tea.

But enter this one!

To me, the smoothness is topped by a very fresh and very welcome blackcurrant type of taste. It's one of those events where you expect just a very good meal, and then when it enters your mouth you get an entire whoopping party! And party in a positive and refined way.

Best oolong I have tasted this far. I am of course hoping even this can be topped, but I fear that may take some waiting time.
