I got this as a sample ages ago, tried it, and apparently totally forgot subsequently, so I really didn’t know what kind of an oolong I was in for when I decided to give it another go today. And then I oversteeped it by about 3 minutes, as I got distracted watching Doctor Who and applying for jobs. But then when I jumped up, said a few words I shan’t repeat in polite company, and finally prepared my tea (with lashings of milk and sugar, naturally) it was still good! It’s got that sort of leafy granola flavour one associates with oolongs, and a nice, smooth body with a bit of gentle astringency. Not too shabby, considering I could conceivably have ruined it in my scatterbrained neglect of it. Yay!
