First tasting of the day is Rou Gui Medium roast and this is very nice, its has a very strong roasted flavor and scent. It practically pops from the cup. A nice sweet aftertaste follows , the aroma of caramel and wood.
I didnt get some of the subtler flavors mentioned in the tea description, there is a strong sweet, roasted and wood aroma’s and flavors, but I didnt pick up on the other flavors or aroma’s mentioned.
Its very nice though and easy drinking, a dark almost caramel liquor is produced, and it holds up to multiple steepings well. The caffeine level seems about moderate which is pretty normal for an oolong. The tea leaves are incredibly dark, almost reminiscent of a black tea.
I would recommend this tea, though I wish I had gotten some of the subtler flavors, maybe on the next tasting.
Flavors: Caramel, Mineral, Roasted, Wood
