Who knew that YQH had aged oolongs? They have just two, a 1970s and 1980s. I decided to take the chance and buy some. If you tried this tea blindfolded, you would probably not know what it is. To me, it tastes like a humid stored aged pu erh. The overwhelming flavor is damp, followed by some dark fruit, and a sharp huigan. It is very different than what I expected. I think his teas are all humid stored, including his oolongs, which gives it a unique flavor. It had longevity, lasting a good number of steeps. I’m not crazy about it, so I’ll put it away in my dry storage environment and see what happens after a while. If anyone is curious and wants to try it, I’m open to swaps.
This is You :-D
Me me. I’m kind of thankful that Emmett didn’t email me back because I had a lot I was going to buy :)
I’m sensing an oolong swap! I’ve got that dancong from teahong and a bunch from teamasters and Taiwan sourcing coming if you want to trade a bit.
