I am relatively new to drinking roasted oolongs. The information on the YS website says this has been roasted three times over the course of nearly a decade. Despite this, the roasted flavor is not at all overbearing. It has a deep, juicy flavor that lingers on the palatte. It reminds me of coffee, of the first time the furnace is turned on for the winter, of dark bourbon and water. This may be the tea that turns me on to this style.
Flavors: Cherry, Coffee, Plum, Roasted, Stonefruit, Whiskey

‘Iron Arhat’ was my favourite of theirs, its worth a try, gongfu with quick steeping it lasted & had creaminess that made it stand out as really nice. http://steepster.com/teas/yunnan-sourcing/40852-tie-luo-han-iron-arhat-premium-wu-yi-shan-rock-oolong-tea
Many of my steeps were probably closer to boiling. Often I start with near boiling water and allow it to reduce in temp. as I progress through steepings. I didn’t refresh the water with this one though allowing it to cool considerably.
