I brewed this up late this afternoon, using up a sample I received from the White2tea tea club several months ago. This is on the darker side of the oolong spectrum, although the roast is found primarily in the aroma and less in the flavor. Said flavor is smooth and reminiscent of autumn, with a slight bit of sweetness behind it; despite it being a rock oolong, I didn’t get much in the way of mineral in the taste. It’s not the most dynamic tea in the world, and I get more caffeine than qi, but it’s pretty durable for an oolong (7-8 steeps with these parameters, I think, though I didn’t keep detailed track), fairly thick, and quite enjoyable. I’m not much of an oolong drinker, but this seems like it’d be a solid choice.
