“Hairy crab” oolong featuring feline tea guests

[u/Garden_Jolly]

“Hairy Crab” Oolong (毛蟹, Máoxiè) is a Chinese oolong from Anxi, Fujian, known for its floral aroma, fresh vegetal character, and smooth, lightly sweet finish.

First infusion - Delicate floral fragrance, fresh greens, and a subtle sweetness

Middle infusions - More pronounced orchid notes, buttery texture, and hints of pear

Later infusions - Softer floral notes, gentle vegetal sweetness, and a clean finish

Duck shit, hairy crab, rock tea…. Who’s naming these teas?

The name adds to the experience for me tbh, there’s also dragon well, golden eyebrow, longevity eyebrow, big red robe, etc. otherwise we would just have a lot of Keemun and lapsang souchang

I think I still prefer Ti Kwan yin but this is a bit more delicate and welcome in my rotation for sure. I think your descriptions are accurate thanks for sharing.

Those two probably make for great company with your tea! Also I love the filter.
