I drank this prior to writing the review so I can’t go too in depth (I usually review while I’m drinking). Overall this tea had a very clean, sweet floral quality, the kind you’d expect from a high quality Taiwanese oolong. It was very spring-like and fresh and produced several very pleasant steepings. Very good stuff. I’ve had a lot of Taiwanese oolongs and can’t always differentiate their flavors a lot, but I can usually notice differences in quality and this one was very good in that regard. Seriously, how many times can you use the words “floral”, “vegetal” and “sweet” in a review before you realize you aren’t really pointing out anything that distinguishes it from other teas of its kind? I struggle to part with these descriptors in favor of more precise ones, but at times like these, they’re all I’ve got.

Ah I know what you mean. Sometimes I can pick out really specific flavours, but othertimes really broad categories is the best I can do. I figure it’s better than nothing. I really hate when all I can think is, “This tastes like tea. Just… tea.”
Haha, yes. That happens to me the most with some black teas. I just think, “well, this is tea”. And can’t describe it any other way
