The hybrid is meant to combine the gardenia and cream notes of tieguanyin with the fruit-like osmanthus notes of huang jin gui.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough originally intended for lighter oolongs, we had this cultivar made into a white tea, allowing the leaves to gently wither for 30 hours. Slow dehydration draws forth a round sweetness that is accentuated by the cultivar's innate floral qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2023 harvest returns to the original intent of this tea, without the unintended (but welcomed) higher oxidation of the 2022 batch. This new harvest retains the complex aromatics of last year's batch, with distinct oolong aromatics of osmanthus, dried lemon, and honeysuckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"brew-summary\"\u003eBrew: 4 grams・150 ml・205° F・1 min\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"brew-detail\"\u003eWe suggest similar brew parameters for all white teas, using water that ranges between 195 - 208F, with a starting steep time of 1 minute. Extend steep time for larger volumes. A shorter steep time at lower temperatures produces a very bright and floral tea. Longer steep times and higher temperatures increases complexity and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Song Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g pouch","offer_id":33401330303064,"sku":"w-0010-30g","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g pouch","offer_id":33401330368600,"sku":"w-0010-60g","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120g pouch","offer_id":33401330401368,"sku":"w-0010-120g","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Kraft Canister | 30g","offer_id":33401330466904,"sku":"w-0010-gc-30g","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single brew | 4g","offer_id":43175122010325,"sku":"w-0010-single-4g","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1728\/6899\/products\/goldguanyin_1_89cce378-4adf-4066-80d3-6c1a3ff3bc4c.jpg?v=1607403530","url":"https:\/\/songtea.mom\/products\/gold-guanyin","provider":"Song Tea \u0026 Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
