Yellow Gold Oolong Tea
Huang Jin Gui Wu Long Cha
| Region | China, Fujian |
| Type | Oolong |
| Taste | Refreshing, Smooth |
| Time of Day | Lunchtime, Afternoon |
| Range | Loose Tea |
Yellow Gold Oolong Tea is composed of hand-rolled leaf, in clusters of variegated colour from light olive to ivy-green. The leaves open fully to create a yellow-gold infusion with lime-green hues.
Hailing from the sub-tropical climes of Fujian, this Yellow Gold Oolong combines the full-bodied, caramelised biscuit flavour typical of oolongs with the wild mountain grass freshness found in young green teas.
*Based on 3g per serving, infused 3 times.
Appearance: Tight yet roughly shaped curls of light and dark green leaf
Infusion: Deep straw-yellow liquor with a green hue and very plump leaves
Aroma: Rich straw-like scents with a subtle lime-flower back-fragrance
Taste: Light, summery flavours hinting at celery and fennel with a sappy finish
Infuse: 1 tbs per cup in near-boiling water for 3 minutes

smooth and satisfying
very nice smooth flavour. more full bodied than tie guan yin with quite a lot going on as far as flavours, yes i got rasberries as one reviewer wrote, but i think the citrus flavour was the most prominent -
Delicate sweet fruits and cucumber
Wow! I've just received my first sample of this and I'm so impressed. The fragrance of the dried leaves was of orchids, even stronger when they first touched moisture in my freshly washed small glass jug.
I did a 30 sec wash and then a first infusion of 3 minutes. My first sips of this were very rewarding. I had to close my eyes and think about the delicate flavours. I tasted water melon, raspberry and cucumber!
A second infusion confirmed these tastes and was just as good. It's basically like eating summer fruits and cucumber whilst standing in an orchid house.
I will certainly buy more of this. -
Very distinctive, deliciously fruity with lychee and kiwi
We've had about 300g now and Yellow Gold continues to be a family favourite; very accessible and easy drinking but with some depth as well.
As the name suggests it is at the lighter/greener end of the scale for an oolong but still has considerable subtlety and complexity.
To my novice pallet it comes across as a junior brother to the estimable Iron Buddha, which is undoubtedly an altogether more impressive tea but since yellow gold is less than half the price it's quite a bargain (this doesn't mean you can put the price up!)
Likely to a be a regular order for some time to come.
