Fo Shou or Buddha’s hand is a big leaf variety a very differnt taste profile from Qian Li Xiang, rather more into woody side, spicy like cinamon, tree bark with sweet side with roasting at its tail, a very unique and tastefull, I would say the pitcher inside emits rather fruity notes mixed with spices, roasting nicely intermigles with spicyness and woody character, a very tasty sweetness comes with later brews, a last long brew is very liquor like and so rich, it makes me to brew it again to see what it gives more,

in order to fully understand or start to comprehend  Yancha Oolong teas, try to brew it with 3 grams only in your tinies teapot you have and using just a bit water, covering the tea leaves, first brews can be only flash brews then prolonging them for even minutes, the true essence of these  teas can be ‘dismantle’ first with these ‘rather not that rich’ tasting profile, distinguishing the details better, I personaly find ‘hardcore’ way using 8 or so grams for one-two person brewing

all these yancha oolong offered are pure and clean, in terms of taste and scents at the same time, the roasting is done finely and complemets each tea at a just right level, they all come from a respected generations long tea making trustworthy family
