Western-style brewing this one to see at from all angles. This is such an interesting tea. When steeped western style, it smells much like a lightly-roasted Dong Ding oolong. But the flavor is so different! There aren’t really any roasted notes in the flavor. It is sweet and juicy and lightly floral. My first steep was so tasty that I drank it down pretty quickly! The second steep (6 minutes) is pretty similar to the first but brighter and juicier. I still haven’t decided whether I want to buy more of this one or not, but it is really quite delicious.

I tried the 5 year and noted the growing mineral notes and I’m looking forward to trying this one
