I really liked this tea. I got it in my September Steepster box. It is a little stronger than your usual Oolong (which I really liked). It has a nutty taste, and some hints that remind me of molasses or caramel. This tea is actually very forgiving to oversteeping. I steeped it for about 10 minutes after getting side tracked in the kitchen. There is a slightly astringent edge, but it’s not at the forefront, and may have been brought on by my oversteeping as I don’t remember my first brew having that much astringent.

Flavors: Astringent, Caramel, Earth, Fig, Leather, Nutty

It’s oolong? And astringent, sounds like the bankest hot tea I’ve ever had of said varietal et al(..)

I’m a 33 year old female. By trade I’m a Veterinary Technician, but at heart I’m a food and tea lover first. I like spiced teas and flavored teas, I’m a bigger fan of black, white and green tea than I am of rooibos (red tea) and herbal, though I will drink those as well on occasion.
I joined Steepster to broaden my tea horizons with Steepster Select, and have already had some great educational talks with people about Pu-erh!
