Was gifted a tin of oolong. Couldn’t guess what kind of tea this would be from the name, it turned out to be very rock tea like though it is not from Fujian. The producer is from Wuyi and the tea is from Guangxi, the two places are 900 miles apart.
The dry leaves smell like milk chocolate, this tea taste like a mixture of dahongpao and black tea, it is sweet, toasty, savory, flowery, fruity, and grassy. The aroma and sweetness reminds me of some sweeter dancongs I’ve had. Hydrated leaves are 2 inches long, I don’t see much broken particles. Overall a very interesting tea as in it’s hard to put it in one category, flavor-wise this has a bit of everything, it’s really nice.
