2025 Dawuye Maocha Brick
Type of tea: Oolong
Brewing method: 4oz in gaiwan, boiling water
I'll probably be singing the praises of this tea every time I drink it. It's a little pricy, and the brick format is one of the more stubborn ones to get apart that I've had. But it's worth the effort! The leaves break up a bit more in processing, so just 4oz of this tea will do. It's wonderfully rosy in the cup, and starts with a bright, refreshing sour apple type taste then chills out over steeps to a smooth, sweet yet complex, slightly floral oolong flavor.
