Vietnamese Imperial Indo Oolong
This is a misnomer. Identified as such by the Web it is actually a
early season green tea. It is Tung Ting style with stem of two,three,four leaves. Three leaves are rare and I havent seen four before. The leaves are serated with no oolong tinge. There is a slight floral dry aroma with a weak vegetal taste that doesnt burn and coats the throat. If you are a fan of clog the pot teas as I am you wont be disappointed. This was a pleasant surprise as most Vietnamese Oolongs in the store are scented. I got mine at the local tea shoppe. Jim PS I did a previous post where I described the mainland Ben Shan as being Taiwan like. This is the Vietnamese version. Just a slightly little more understated. This the best example of tea as a vegetable as I know. Enjoy eating a stem or two. |
