My new favourite
I first recieved this tea as part of the sample set. I had never really tasted a oolong quite like it, but it immediately became my new favourite. It's hard to mess up the brew and the aroma has this intriguing vegetal quality.

Lovely balanced tea!
I ordered the Four Seasons Spring, Shan Lin Yi, and Li Shan high mountain oolong, and this was my favorite of the four!
3g/60ml, 90*C water
It was an excellent tea gongfu style, with notes of thyme and rosemary on the herbal side, a savory greenness, and floral notes reminiscent of mi lan xiang and zha ping shui xian. There was good sweetness as well.
The florality was not overwhelming, nor did it have any lily or daffodil scent (two aromas that guarantee an instant headache for me). The floral notes have more of the scent I think of as "cotton".
This tea was excellent for gongfu brewing, but I also think it would brew nicely in a more casual western manner. It almost doesn't feel like an oolong, but rather the platonic ideal of a green tea in a way.
