竹山乌龙 · Zhu Shan Wu Long Origin: Zhushan, Nantou, Taiwan
Our Bamboo Peak Milk Oolong is a light roast Jin Xuan varietal produced by the Lin family in Zhushan, Taiwan. This oolong's large leaves are tightly rolled and reveal their full form over a few steeps. A milky aroma greets you on first encounter, then gives way to notes of butter, peach, and bamboo.
Grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
I got the sampler pack and the flavors and aroma of this one were my favorite. The description is accurate, and the packaging is pleasant.

Blah
I did not like this one. I don't get much flavor and it's pretty astringent no matter how short the steep is. I brewed it gongfu style, trying different times, from 5s to 30s. At best, its blah. Will not be buying it again.

New Favorite Tea
I found out about Three Gems through a feature on Bon Appetit and immediately had to order the sampler pack to try out all of the offerings. Bamboo Peak was my absolute favorite of the bunch -- light flavored with notes of peach and butter. This will definitely be a regular in my tea rotation!

It really is buttery!
I tend to like lighter roasts for teas and this one did not disappoint. I love how this tea tastes milky by itself. The fruity notes add depth and make it all the more delicious. What more could I ask for?

This tea is incredible. Taiwanese oolongs are on another level! So smooth and fragrant--going to try making milk tea with this. Thank you Three Gems!
