AprTeaGot this as a sample with a recent Aliexpress teaware order. Initially I suspected it was a cheap, throwaway tea. I didn’t have any idea what kind it was – thought it was puerh because I’d never seen oolong in cake form before.
A google search cleared up the confusion and I immediately fired up my kettle and dropped half of the mini-cake into my gaiwan. The dry leaves had a floral and, true to their name, sweet narcissus aroma which intensifies with wet leaf. Brewed gongfu style, the tea matches its aroma. Lots of nectary flavor with robust floral notes and a lingering sweetness that stays in your mouth for a while. The brick stays intact for several steepings and then opens up to reveal long, pristine leaves with a beautiful purple hue around the edges.
This tea was surprisingly much better than I expected and totally blew me away. It’s a flower-packed oolong that happens to be one of the best I’ve tried. Not bad for a random, no name tea from Aliexpress!
Flavors: Floral, Narcissus, Nectar, Sweet
This was a tea that I had to try because of the look :)

The compressed oolong minicake here is quite nice with a floral hint to it
The leaf expands quite a bit and can make A LOT of tea. While the floral taste is nice and clean, I wouldn’t put this as a top oolong. I really enjoyed this and would buy it again. Fun experience with a nice taste
I also got enough to send some as a surprise to others :)
