The Wang Family Tea company does not disappoint. Every one of their oolongs I have tried has been sublime. This one is another winner. Even at just 10 seconds you can immediately tell you are in for symphony of flavors. The beginning is mainly mineral flavors. Slightly sweet. As we let it steep longer the roast notes emerge along with some toast and some type of stone fruit I can’t identify. Steeped for too long and the heavy charcoal notes really take over. The first steeping was the best. The second I drank too quickly. The third has produced delicious roast notes with charcoal and slightly burnt wood but less of the sweetness found in the first steeping. The minerality remains but is a bit subdued by the charcoal notes. Now onto the fifth steeping. The water is color and the mixture of charcoal notes and minerality is fantastic.
This is You :-D

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.
I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

I am going to buy from them as at least once a year. I’ve had other Wuyi style Taiwanese oolongs, but none of them were as balanced and flavorful as this one.
Agreed Daylon! I definitely want to support them to keep them in business!
