I don’t know a lot about oolong, nor do I have experience drinking different varieties and harvests. So, if you told me this was a Tieguanyin I’d just bob my head and say “yes, with a dash of orange-flavoured fluoride gel I used to get at the dentist!” Such a connoisseur.
Steep Count: 5
I forgot about the fourth steep and now it tastes like a typical dacong or a second steep Darjeeling; fruit-sour and floral.

What are you talking about? You know plenty about oolong!
I’ve only made it to a fifth steep like once haha. As long of an attention span I have for pretty much everything in life, drinking more than three steeps of oolong is a challenge for me.
I know some basics, but not a whole lot. I do know enough that I should’ve known better with this one though. It looks so green but I’ve yet to enjoy “Dancong Verdant” anything.. :O
I don’t have the greatest attention span either, but sometimes resteeping a puerh or oolong is an easier decision than choosing the third flavoured tea for the day. It’s a combination of laziness, poor decision making, and excessive tea drinking!
I am certainly not an oolong expert, but I am fascinated by the flavours that emerge in various steeps. Although my attention span is not all that, my curiosity keeps me going.
