Bought this from David’s Tea Westport store. When I first opened my 1oz bag I immediately was brought back to childhood with the smell of apple chips. Not a professional description of scent, but the was the memory it triggered. With that was light spinach and toast.
I started my first infusion per the directions provided…1 1/4 tsp. for 4-7 min in 200F. I went with 4 because anything more seemed to be long to me for an oolong.
The spinach has fallen to the back and more of the toasted notes come forward after steeping. Nice moderate mouth-feel.the first taste that comes to mind is star fruit with a mild briskness in the finish.
Didn’t get that milky coating in my mouth that I have gotten from other milk oolong’s but the taste is very pleasant and worth trying. I would steep closer to 3 min. next time to push back that briskness.
