Again another moment of silence for a company that is missed by the tea loving community. Every tea that I have from SpecialTeas is always fabulous. Thank you Mercuryhime for this one. I have a high liking for dark oolongs they definitely have their own unique characteristics. The dry leaf has a woodsy aroma to it. When I was putting the water in with the dry leaf I noticed a sweet cranberry honey like aroma. That lovely aroma transfers into the cup. Hints of honey, cranberry, bing cherry, maybe even a little bit of grapefruit hits the palette. However I what I find odd about this tea is it’s ninja like camouflage skills. The dry leaf is a dark brown but add hot water and you the green. A great oolong though. Ahhh SpecialTeas if only I had found you sooner(sigh).

I only regret not buying more when they had their going out of business sale. They didn’t advertise that they were going out of business and I didn’t need more tea at the time so I just let the 75% deals pass me by. Then, a long while later, they were still selling stuff at 75% off, and I asked myself, “how can a company have such an outrageous sale for such a long time and still stay in business?” Then it hit me, and I bought what they had left that sounded good. Unfortunately, not much good stuff was left by then. sad. :(
anyway, I’m glad you like this. I actually have another 2 oz bag that’s still sealed. good old sale…haha I’m not too fond of dark oolongs so let me know if you’re interested in more of this.
Sure would you like something in return?
