I am disappointed. But perhaps it’s me. Hi. I’m the problem… probably. All of the Ginseng oolong I’ve consumed in the past have been covered in ginseng powder. So I guess I’ve never had a high grade before. The problem is it smells and tastes like it’s been scented with osmanthus. It’s a nice scent and flavor but not one I seek out. I guess I was hoping for the ginseng covered teas and that same flavor that coats my tongue. The taste is floral and highly osmanthus with hints of honey and apple. Though as I drink it longer now that coating is occurring. Fascinating. I can definitely taste the Ginseng now. Perhaps I needed to give it time. Still don’t fancy the osmanthus on the first part of the sip though.

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.

(Purple is not a type of tea it is a cultivar known as TRFK 306/1)
