1. View

The dry leaves are dark green/blue, yellow and of varied sizes. The brew has great clarity and transparency with a very fresh yellow color. The open leaves are very big. They are thick, but flexible.

2. Scents

The dry leaves have a powerful smell of fresh spring flowers and lavender. The brew has peach and flower scents that come close to perfume.

3. Taste

The energy, the Cha Qi of this Oolong is spectacular! The taste is thick, coating the palate and the aftertaste lingers playfully in the mouth.

Conclusion: This year, again, this Da Yu Ling impresses as it dominates all other high mountain Oolongs in this region (and in the world). It's so good that I can brew it flawlessly in my silver teapot!
