I love the way this smells in the teapot: green, rich, with a touch of floral. I have a bias toward teas that are nourishing in some way and this definitely satisfies my senses. The dried tea is typical for oolongs; the tight little fists of leaves that range from medium to deep green open into whole leaves. The color of the tea is a deep amber. I steeped this for four minutes and by the time I starting sipping, most of the scent had dissipated. The taste is a touch brothy, just enough to add body. This would be a good choice for people venturing away from more familiar Chinese restaurant oolongs toward something heavier-the lighter pale ale version rather than a stout. I appreciate the light body, fulfilling aroma, and drinkability. I would recommend this as a great gift for someone looking to try oolongs.
