This one has been sitting around while I focus on my beloved green oolongs – just figured I should try this one at some point. So, I love Laoshan black, but black teas make me shaky (disproportionately to their actual caffeine level – bit of a mystery). So I feel very lucky that this oolong so strongly resembles it! My feeling on it is that if I could drink the black, I would prefer it for its boldness. This is lighter tasting and will an added fruitiness I don’t detect in the black. I’m surprised how much this roasted-oolong avoider really enjoys this. It reminds me of the first time I tasted hojicha and was comforted by its toasted green notes.
