Chou Shi
from £5.00
Newly arrived from Wudong, in Chaozhou Province, this tea is a new style of tea from our farmer. Lightly oxidised, resulting in a brew which is so much like a Tie Guan Yin, in flavour, aroma and mouthfeel. The little touch of oxidisation means that on later infusions, you get a touch of astringency, maybe even minerality, but otherwise, the flavour is floral and sweet, with magnolia being the dominating taste.
It is a Dan Cong, but the oxidisation is stopped very early and the tea dried out in a dehydrator - Chou Shi translates as 'dehydrated'.
If you like a traditional Jade Oolong like Ben Shan or TGY, this is well worth a try.
