Tangerine Dreams -NEW
Type:
a China Mao Feng white tea with some silver tip, spiced with cinnamon bark,
candied mango, citrus peels, tangerine flavour, vanilla flavour, liquorice root
and sunflower petals.
For
tasting 2.8 grams of tea was steeped in 140ml water at 80⁰C for five minutes.
Leaf: a colourful mix. The dry leaf has a very distinct clean tangy aroma of sweet tangerines.
Infusion – aroma:
a distinctly sweet floral citrus aroma, light but strong and redolent of sponge
cake
Liquor – visual: clear
pale apricot colour
Liquor – taste: distinctly
sweet with a hint of bitter from the citrus peels. Resteeped with less tea (2 grams) gives a
better balance for bitterness, with sweet tangerine coming through well and
still the hint of moist drizzle cake.
Summary: a great flavoured tea for the
sweet toothed – and no need to add extra sugar.
