Very quick fly-by note, with thanks to derk … my first experience with a Thai tea, I think. Mild and subtle; the flavor reminded me most of unsweet molasses. I was going to try the final steep iced, but oops - too late now! I chugged the last tumbler at my desk without realizing it!

The highly oxidized Thai oolongs I’ve had have been syrupy, rich and sweet — certainly not mild and subtle. I’m very curious now. As soon as I finish my bag of The Ranger, I’ll be moving onto this Thai black.

Good adjective, syrupy. That covers it pretty well.
