This is a tea I just had to try based on all the crappy reviews people wrote about it. ;-)
Now I can’t figure out if Steepster is just full of really snooty people or I am just not snooty enough? lol…
This is really not that bad. I kind of liked it… hee hee. Is it the power of suggestion? I really do feel more relaxed. I steeped this in the Ti xing teapot with around 180 water. I used 3 infusions of one minute each. This does not really taste like a typical oolong. I swear my tastebuds are tingling. It reminds me a little of a sheng. It also reminds me a little bit of Lipton tea. It does have a bit of an aftertaste that is kind of sharp and pungent, I assume this is part of what people are reacting to negatively here. Oh well. I kind of doubt I will get more but I might. It does give me a sort of pleasant goofy feeling.

‘Cause that’s how you roll. :)) It’s cold here…gonna go have a cup or two of warm tea.
Looking at the other reviews, perhaps it just gets nasty if you leave it too long. Sometimes I don’t know if a reviewed tea is all that bad, especially when the reviewer doesn’t mention the steeping parameters.
Dorothy… could be. I know some teas if they are steeped too long get yucky very quickly. Who knows.
Maybe the people that don’t like it brewed it wrong. Hey, c’mon…….I said maybe. I’m just sayin’…….
