A well-made tea, an oolong with a floral backbone, somewhat sweet, but full-flavored. This is an extremely popular tea, and it comes in a wide variety of grades. This Special Grade has pungency and stands up to repeated steepings; with a gong-fu cup, you’ll discover a variety of flavor notes.
For me, the tea’s natural astringency left me less than satisfied – though I fully realize that this is a satisfactory example of this tea.
