Nothing like the first aroma of a bag of freshly opened tea. Granted it doesn’t compare to smelling it fresh off the processing line. But the mineral and floral scents emanating from this bag are pretty fantastic. I will be steeping this gong fu style. Thus will not be adhering to the 3 mins rule. Though from my first sip I can tell this one will need a bit longer in order to release all the precious flavors. The second sip at a minute revealed floral notes, gardenia, and a few mineral notes. I’m now 2-3 mins and getting wet rock notes, popcorn, and tropical floral notes. Overall, its a decent oolong but I feel that I’ve had better and the amount of infusions you get from this one is not much.
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 used to really love that tea, but the last few times I’ve bought it years ago have not had the same flavor as the fruity floral smells.
