This tea has interested me since I saw it on Remedy Teas list over a year ago. I finally got a chance to drink some today.
It was worth the wait. A really interesting flavor profile. First, we have the usual oolong thing going on and despite being heavily oxidized, the tea retains a vegetal note—the first word that came to my mind was bean-sprouts. At the same time the tea contains a good bit of musky, nuttiness that I think most tea drinkers will appreciate. All these flavors are in balance with a slightly sweet overtone.
I easily got 3 steeps out of it. Get some if you can. The color alone is worth it.
