2015 harvest from Liquid Proust’s group buy.
This tea comes in balls of roughly 2 grams. I used 2, with multiple steeps of roughly 1 minute each. The first steep was pretty much wasted, since the balls stayed solid and the tea was very weak. The balls didn’t fully break up until the 3rd steep, though the second steep was reasonably strong. Still reasonably flavorful in the 4th steep (2 minutes).
The taste is earthy, with some vegetation flavors. Not what I think of when I drink an oolong. Nothing really wrong with the tea, but it didn’t excite me.
