Welcome to the dark side.
The leaves of this oolong are some of the darkest I’ve seen. And so is the brew, a beautiful deep amber.
This type of leaf opens a little but never really unfurls. It’s good for a multitude of steeps!
This is as roasty as it gets!
There’s a lot of charcoal in this cup, no smoke though, for me it’s a huge distinction.
It’s musky and spicy, hints of cinnamon and clove.
Strong burnt and sweet caramel, bitter chocolate all in one sip. Like many heavy roasted oolong, there’s a lot going one here.
The fourth steep is spectacular, it’s loosing some of the bitterness and the sweetness has intensified. The chocolate is very persistent.
I’m a fan…decadent, a dessert tea.

Ooh, I am remembering this one. It was almost like drinking an oolong mixed with hot chocolate! This one was definitely a book and blanket tea:)
Haha! Yes, if I could, I’d spend the rest of my life this way…a blankie, tea, bookie, and puppy at my footy!
(sorry’ had to make it rime)
Weird – I thought this was CRAZY smokey – like almost offensively smokey.
Smokey, that is really interesting. I love how all our taste buds are so different.
