What an interesting tea! It’s a roasted oolong (which I’ve had before) but one with a very strong floral note that clashes with the earthier aspects in an interesting way. It’s sort of like you’re consuming the whole flower, including the dirty roots! (Which isn’t a very appetizing mental image, come to think of it…) I’m also finding it a bit drying at the end of the sip, not smooth and creamy like the oolongs I love. Personally, this isn’t really to my taste and I wouldn’t drink it again, but I’m glad I had the chance to try it!
