Name: Fujian Ali Shan
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Type:\u00a0 Oolong<\/p>\n

Region:\u00a0 Taiwan<\/p>\n

Bought At:\u00a0 Adagio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Price:\u00a0 $29 for maestro sampler set (4 teas)<\/p>\n

First Impressions:\u00a0 Pellet-Like Leaves, Slightly Sweet Grassy Aroma<\/p>\n

Review:<\/p>\n

First off, wow do these leaves “grow” in the water.\u00a0 They go in as tightly packed little balls, and they unfurl to fill the whole container – interesting to see (well maybe “interesting” isn’t the right word, but it was neat).\u00a0 Anyways, on to the tea.\u00a0 My first tea from the lighter Adagio Maestro Sampler, Fujian Ali Shan, was really good.\u00a0 Warm and mellow, it wasn’t really either sweet or bitter.\u00a0 This tea goes down really smooth, it hints at a greener grassy taste, but stops short of it.\u00a0 One thing I didn’t like was a slightly foul aftertaste, although not strong enough to make me dislike the tea, it was there.\u00a0 Overall, another good oolong – I think oolong is slowly passing black as my second favorite tea.<\/p>\n

My Rating:
\n3.0 \/ 5<\/p>\n
