I looked back at previous notes about this oolong and chuckled a little bit, because in my head, I was composing a review that was almost 100% identical to the older one (pasted below). As my former boss once said, “You don’t need two tractors plowing the same field.”
This one is going to take some tinkering. Generally, I am not patient with tinker-needful teas. At four minutes with roughly the appropriate temperature (remember, I am a barbarian who does “kinda” and “sorta”) and a smidge less leaf than the tin recommends, this tastes much more like a Darjeeling than an oolong—and a rather bitter one at that.
I skimmed through other reviews, and another Steepster described it as an oolong evidently grown less than 20 miles from the Darjeeling region. That pretty much sums it up!
All the same, it was good to shake up my morning synapses with something different.
