Eastern Long-Whiskered BillyThe recent GABA oolong from eco-cha has really knocked my socks off. I haven't had a GABA oolong this good.
EkoPeople sometimes ask me for teas with strong fruit notes, and now that I've tried Nari's 2019 aged GABA oolong from Meishan, Taiwan, I'll know what to serve them!
Already the dry leaves have an incredible aroma: dry strawberries, raisins, watermelon and stone fruits 🍓🍉
The tea broth smells both fruity and floral, with notes of honey and cooked oranges 🍊
The tea tastes sweet, is full bodied and round, with a fresh after taste like pine needles. This keeps the overall experience balanced, without an overly sweet feeling afterwards.
I know GABA oolongs often taste like cherries, and I was surprised to not find this taste here. I think the aging also helped making it so smooth and sweet!
