A deep, rich golden color. Fragrant in an oolong kind of way with creamy mouthfeel. Flavors a little subtle compared to the color. The finish and depth of flavor was not nearly as long as the Li Shan from the same company. Maybe it was a steeping issue. I did not get a chance to do a second or third steeping so this review reflects only the first steeping.

I prefer traditional over flavored. I tend to lean towards oolongs and green teas, although experimenting with some more robust varieties. New to high quality, artisanal teas and look forward to learning about new teas to try on this site.

Father of 2 kids—one in high school and the other in college. Enjoy backpacking, reading, traveling, fine wine, teaching and gardening.
