A harpsichord produces very brief, high pitched sounds that resonate for some time. The music appears particularly playful when it's executed with skill at a rather high speed. After drinking one of my favorite high mountain Oolong from this spring while listening to
Bach's well-tempered clavier played on
harpsichord by Céline Frisch, I find similarities of mood (jolly, energetic), endurance, brightness, purity... The aftertaste is so playful on the tongue and in the ears! The notes are pure, precise, high pitched. What a delight!
And I'm glad that my tea friend Elisabeth G. shares a similar feeling about this tea. Here is
the comment she wrote a couple days ago:
"I love the floral, fresh scent in the cup. The flavour
is also floral and herbal (rather than sweet) and full of energy, even
tingly in the mouth. Finally, a warm, lingering finish with a very
pleasant bitter note. It’s that complex aftertaste that made me want to
taste the tea again and again. It's addictive!"
I find
this spring Gao Shan Oolong suits the well tempered days of autumn exquisitely!
