Very pleasant stem-twisted oolong. Rich, plummy flavor with a floral, toasted rice finish. Brews a reddish liquor. Sadly, this is one of those teas which loses its essence after exposure to air. Good excuse to drink it up, but unfortunately this is a tea I’d like to keep on hand and enjoy slowly over time. Hopefully SRT will continue to source this one.

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 45 sec

I agree with the essense being volatile and seems to fade every time you open the container/bag. I’d recommend trying versions of the same tea. I found that the Phoenix Collection version is not as fragrant from the leaf itself but the taste lingers much longer on your palate.
