With a light oxidation level of less than 20%, this premium Oolong is produced in Anxi county of Fujian province. The name Huang Jin Gui translates to golden osmanthus, referring to the cup's light gold hue and osmanthus-like aroma and flavor.
I bought this because I like Tie Guan Yin and have been meaning to try Huang Jin Gui, a similar type of low-oxidation oolong. What the name promises, the tea delivers. It is floral in aroma and taste, especially at the front end. I found that the floral notes quickly give way to a vegetal finish. Lacks some complexity, especially umami notes.
Delicately Floral

I love this tea. It has a light floral taste that is mild enough to drink all day long without tiring of it. The leaves can be reused several times.
