Teasprings Dong Ding

Dong Ding is a green oolong from Taiwan. This continues my craze for green oolong's for which I can't quite seem to get enough.

1: Boiling 20 seconds
Nose: Butter and flowers, perhaps lily's and orchids.
Palate: Buttery, with a hint of spice, the spice seems to be a hint of an astringency. The spice is almost like the sourness of a rubarb. but very mild.
Finish: A long dry mouthfeel.

2: Boiling 25 seconds
Nose: Lilly's and butter.
Palate: Very buttery, honestly reminiscent of sauteed zucchini.
Finish: buttery turning into a little bit of the dryness.

3: boiling 30 seconds
Nose: nutty, and butter, with hints of floral.
Palate: oily mouthfeel, with a very mild floral flavor.
Finish: watery.

This Dong ding was sampled to me by a friend, and I'm not sure how long he had it in his possession. It could be that this is nearing the end of its freshness, as its running out towards the end of three infusions.
